It doesn't end there though, my dad actually coached Ceez's dad youth basketball team 35+ years ago!
A newspaper in the DR wrote about this incredible story and our 2KL season so far!
After a couple months of zoom calls and remote work, I'm finally omw to Atlanta!
Can't wait to meet my

Our pre-draft interview process has been very gratifying so far!
We've had great conversations with some amazing people as we start the search for the right pieces to put around Ceez, Swann and Hotshot, and establish a sustainable winning culture in Atlanta.
Let's get it!
Proud of this team. I love these boys to death man. We played a great tournament and fought hard in the finals against a really good team.
I know that we worked harder than anyone. We started this journey on October 21st and locked in everynight since then.
Opening night!!

I wanted to thank everyone that has been @'ing me in these 2KL Coaching opportunities.
It is in my interest to get an opportunity to join and help a franchise move forward, and it is gratifying to see that there are many folks in the community that value my work.

I want to thank
@iamwesjordon
and everyone at the Hawks for giving me the opportunity to lead the squad this year.
The organization has been a firm believer in the NBA2KL and has provided us with all the resources needed to be competitive in this league.
Really happy with how this draft went for us!
Welcome home

@deemactmu
, can't wait to welcome you to Atlanta and get this thing going!!
As a rookie coach, I couldn't have asked for a better group of individuals to work with.
These guys became my family for the past 6 months. The complicity we created on and off the court was unmatched and I'm extremely proud of their personal and professional growth this szn.

for
@hotshotx305

4-1 on the first night of

, not what we wanted but a lot of positives to take home as we prepare for the second game week.
This team is special 🇩🇴❤️
There is nothing wrong with a prospect rejecting an interview from a team that they don't want to be a part of...
However, you have to be mature enough to understand that one of those interviews could've been the difference between being in the league or not.
Had some really great conversations during our interview process, lots of quality people going for the league this year.
3 of those guys will be Hawks next week!!

This is cool. But they keep overlooking the americas... Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, etc.
NBA 2K LEAGUE AMERICAS INVITATIONAL should be a thing. We can host it in the D.R!! We are hosting capcom cup and other big esports events this upcoming year.
It would be so dope to have a 2KL franchise somewhere in Latin America.
Mexico City is already a proven market in the G-League and the passion for the game and available talent in the Caribbean (PR/DR) and South America is ridiculous.
Super excited to have
@UnderRatedGoat_
join the squad!
Hard worker that has exponentially improved every season. Exactly the kind of player we've been looking for.
Welcome home, Eli! 🙌🏽
Had a great time with these guys in Manila! We talked
@NBA2KLeague
and the 2k scene in the Phillipines!
Appreciate you for taking the time to meet!
Salamat Po!!
Combine week!
Best of luck to all the prospects during this part of the process.
As you already know, we need 2 players in Atlanta so feel free to tag me in all of your streams.
