I’m officially removing myself from the @NBA2KLeague draft pool. I appreciate the teams that have reached out. I’ve accepted a job elsewhere that makes me ineligible this upcoming season. This is not the end of playing career but an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Stay tuned 👀📈.

I was at dinner with my cousin & he was telling me about how he asked for NBA 2K and NBA jerseys. He asked if we wore them and said if he knew that he would’ve asked Santa for one. I quickly ran home and grabbed one of mine. I told him I guess 🎅 was listening. Merry Christmas🎄

It’s crazy seeing how much @adinross has blown up. We were talking on the phone 2 years ago about all his plans and what he was trying to do. He literally spoke his success into existence. Proud of you brotha, I don’t see you stopping anytime soon ✊🏻.

Wake me up from this nightmare. Lost one of my Grandmother’s last week and now the other just lost her fight early this morning to Covid. She was one of my best friends and biggest supporters. This one is going to hurt for a while. RIP, love you Mamar 💚

This is beyond surreal, an actual contract from the NBA. I can’t put into words how much this means to me. The risks, sacrifices, sleepless nights, lost friendships, many more obstacles, all now worth it. I turned my dreams into a reality. @NBA2KLeague #GodsPlan #Blessed 🙏🏻

In 2K. box scores never truly show how the game was actually played out. Plenty of talented players out there who don’t put up flashy or desired numbers but do the little things that matter the most. Top role players deserve more recognition 👌🏻.
There is so much more to being a great player than what the post game box score says. Numbers matter but so does the person behind the controller.

Every top or competitive player has it in them. Certain individuals just need that extra ounce of confidence to be great. Instead of being negative or putting people down mid game. be that teammate in their ear filling them with confidence. You’ll be surprised by the outcome❕.

Your boys aren’t really your boys in this community/profession. There’s only a select few that are loyal and trustworthy. Make sure you hold on to them tight. The fake will expose themselves…especially when they jump on the bandwagon that is hot/up at the moment. Keep pushing 🫡.

Losing to a team that isn’t anywhere near as good as yours has to be one of the most demoralizing feelings. especially when the result is all self inflicted. I hate losing more than I love winning.

Don’t like getting on here to vent but it’s easier then contacting multiple people. I just lost my 3rd Grandparent in 2 1/2 weeks. RIP Papar. you taught me so much. He was also one of my biggest supporters. They wouldn’t want me to quit. Appreciate everyone that’s reached out 🙏🏻

Our 6️⃣ for @KingsGuardGG is rare. We already have the skill but what’s scary is our chemistry. it’s second to none. I haven’t felt anything similar to this since @Throwdown2k. I promise anyone that supports us. you’re in for a treat this season. #OneTeamOneGoal 👑.

LIKE this tweet if you’re actually interested in being apart of @LakersGaming. then DM elaborating your reasons and why you believe that you’d be a great fit for this team. I want to have teammates who actually want to be in LA and apart of this brotherhood we are forming‼️.

I appreciate everyone who has reached out. I’m going to be fine 👌🏻 just banged up pretty bad and nauseous right now. I wasn’t driving and luckily my car doesn’t appear to be totaled like the one that hit me. Whatever you do. please don’t drink and get behind the wheel people.

Grandparents (Mamar & Papar) have been in the hospital the past MONTH with Covid. They mean the world to me. I’m not one to ask for sympathy but Mamar is on a ventilator (was completely healthy before) & Papar was just now rushed back to hospital. Keep my family in your prayers🙏🏻.

The league has truly brain washed and completely changed people. I miss the old days where no one really cared much for individual stats and everyone got involved. Games used to actually be fun, it just isn’t the same anymore.

Expansion Teams 📨. Talent can't measure to someone's character at heart. On September 26th, if chosen, you'll be receiving an experienced leader. I'm battle tested, highly motivated, ready and willing to take on any form of adversity that comes my way. Failure is not an option.

I started playing Lock for the first time in January…I lost 3 Grandparents & my league spot in a month span. I could’ve just given up, but I’ve been busting my ass and now believe that I’m one of the best in the game. Simply by drive and desire. I will get back what I deserve.

One of my biggest flaws has been that I’ve always tried to get everyone to like me. With time, you finally realize that no matter what you do. not everyone is going to like you. Once you experience that and stop trying to impress or make everyone like you, things get easier.

People can talk and say what they want about @Throwdown2k & myself but ever since SZN 2 ended. we’ve been on damn near every single night as late as 6 AM grinding comp matchups on a game that is “dead” to get ourselves better. At the end of the day, we are going to grind❕.

There still has been no word on all 102 filled. @iDevGoss deserves one of those spots more than anyone left. Proven consensus top player, shining personality and was one of the best performers at his position in the combine. @NBA2KLeague he deserves one of those final spots 📞.

I’ve taken 3 Ls total and all have been with PGs that didn’t have a mic. If you’re a PG participating in the combine I beg you to please consider going out and getting a mic before searching. It just negatively impacts the game as a whole to yourself and teammates.
