, it was a risk. He aspired to play D1 ball one day AND be in the show. But, the NCAA had a policy back then. Amateur athletes were forbidden to make money playing ball (even if considered acting). He prayed, did the show and look at him now.

Inspired by a real life situation. A recruiter visited us, asking for tons of money before my son got recruited to UCLA.
A lot of the companies that claim to help young players get in front of D-1 players are often predatory. That 10-5k number he threw out there is not uncommon and they'll take your money whether they think you have a future or not.

What can we say about
@OsheaJacksonJr
?
His performance looks effortless but don’t be fooled. He works hard to portray the role of a coach who has had his share of misfortunate. And yet, IKE is ride or die for his fam & no doubt, ride or die for his players.

Actually, Naim was never intended to be a major role. But
@THESEANBAKER
inhabited his character so well, we kept writing more stuff for him. He had great chemistry with other coaches. And I so believed him as Musa’s dad. If you notice, in season 2, his name is in opening cards!
#SWAGGERFACT
