I see you wanted some clout. 🤣 Thanks for sharing my post though. If you watched what we do more closely, you’d know NONE of this is EVER taught and the purpose is thoroughly explained in a later posted video. God bless though!
Is this a Travel or Not according to NBA/FIBA rules? What player(s) could you see using this concept? Would it work in the PROPER SITUATION in game? 🤔

Y’all are a disgrace to basketball!! Complete idiots! This is why we are how we are as a basketball community bc we have people like y’all who never played meaningful basketball creating outlets that entertain instead of educate!! Y’all corny and I’m letting it be known tomorrow!
SOUND ON!!! It’s a shame that 4 years later people still don’t understand that these videos are for educational purposes !! It’s hilariously sad honestly 😂🤦🏾♂️

Basketball Trainers… PLEASE STOP over-claiming players that are already really good without you and that low key you didn’t even work with that long and focus on actually getting guys better!!!!
If you gotta reclassify twice, switch aau teams every month, transfer to 4 different HS’s to fight for your basketball dream, you probably just don’t have it. More times than not the problem is you.
If you want to be a better scorer you have to find ways to get easier/simpler buckets. Sprinting the floor, moving w/o the basketball, getting to spots for midrange pullups & floaters in 3 dribbles or less, knock down catch and shoot 3s. The greatest scorers simplify the game.
TURN YOUR SOUND ON!! If you know me, you know I had to pull the receipts!! It’s so important to know and understand what’s legal to do on your level of basketball and these unintelligent reactions to my posts are exactly why I do what I do! Where you at

If you really believe Kyrie Irving isn’t one of the top 75 players of all time, you’re completely out of your mind and I really question your basketball intelligence & judgement.
150K Followers (IG) 🤯 I’m humbled & grateful to GOD for it ALL and for you ALL!! If you know me, you know how hard I work every single day to put out DETAILED, INNOVATIVE, CREATIVE & EDUCATIONAL content. I pray that you’ve learned something from me on this journey thus far. 🙏🏾🙌🏾
SOUND ON!!! Breaking down my latest Travel or Not concept 😅 The fact that 4 years have passed and y’all still don’t understand that these videos are for educational purposes make me really question some of y’all’s intelligence… 😂🤦🏾♂️

Coaches, you don’t have to curse kids out, verbally abuse and talk down to them to get your point across. Coaches should take classes to help communicate effectively. Different players respond better to different things. God bless!
SOUND ON!!!!! I remember when y’all tried to play me for showing you what legal step throughs on non pivot looked like. Now yall utilize it, teach it, see NBA players use it more creatively and argue its legality! The facts will make those tables turn every time!! 😎

It was cool chopping it up with

I thought AAU was supposed to be all about the kids and helping them reach their goals? All I see is the grown people arguing on social media. It’s sad. A complete circus that I will continue to have NO PARTS of!!
The more I watch the illegal screen play called in the Iowa/UConn game, the more I see an illegal screen! Great job by the officials. Tough call but the right call.
I be wanting to say so much but it be chillin. Lol This basketball stuff full of weirdos man. That’s why I be out the way. For most of yall it’s about your ego. Yall really ain’t in it for the young people like yall claim to be at all. SMH
I am EXTREMELY excited to announce that I will be taking over as head coach of the

16u boys AAU team! I felt as though this was the perfect time for myself and my brother

I kicked it with my oldest son today after school. Rode out and enjoyed a whole afternoon with him. On the way home he told me numerous times how much he loved me. Told his mom as he got in bed that he wishes the day with me could keep going. I love being a father. Brings me joy!
The way y’all tryna make NCAA Women’s Basketball about race to discredit one player or another is super weird 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ I really hate the internet sometimes. If I didn’t have a business I wouldn’t even be on here.
S/o to every one of you who genuinely support me and what I’m trying to do in basketball. It’s a constant fight, but I’m up for the challenge to make this game better than when I found it!! I won’t stop until my God says my mission is done!
These kids care so much more about an edit and video content than they do about actually getting better and being really good at this game!! You cannot skip steps.

Everybody gone support when you they think you UP. I remember who was rocking when the basketball world was calling me a “clown” & “goofy” for teaching by actual rule 🤦🏾♂️ I understand how it goes and I appreciate everything but I’ll NEVER forget the ones who really held me down!
I love basketball deeply. Not for the glitz and glamour, not for barbershop talk, not for attention, just a genuine & pure love and appreciation for the game itself and how it brings people of all walks of life together.
I don’t wanna hear no excuses this summer. Get active. Get better. Go earn what you want when the crowd isn’t watching!!! Who’s really gonna separate themselves from the pack this off-season?! Let it be you!!!

One of my favorite transition read and react drills that I put my guys through!!! My goal is to give my clients/guys the most game like looks I can come up with!! Creativity that makes sense! The response to this drill has been amazing! Thank you! 🙏🏾

My whole life changed when I stopped chasing and started becoming. Becoming who God intended for me to be, not what the world thought I should be nor what I thought I should be.
The fact that so many people who are players, fans, coaches, content creators around the game of basketball have no idea of the rules and how they work is crazy!! Y’all are gonna keep my content alive & relevant forever 😎🤝🏾 Thank you in advance!
Celebrated my 6 Year Anniversary with my wife, great and smooth days in the lab, 2 PHX wins, kicked it with my brother Wall and ate some great healthy (for the most part) eats. Best weekend I’ve had in a long time. S/o to GOD man. It’s the small things for me! 🙏🏾
Young hoopers, MASTER what you’ll utilize more often in game along with counters. Highlight plays are dope, we all love them, but they don’t happen too often during a game. Get really good at the simple things and then build/stack skills off of your solid foundation!!
SOUND ON!!! It’s a shame that 4 years later people still don’t understand that these videos are for educational purposes !! It’s hilariously sad honestly 😂🤦🏾♂️

Happy 7th Birthday to my oldest son Maxson!! Me, Mommy and your Baby Brother Love you beyond words!! I thank GOD for allowing me to be your father and I’m so proud of your intelligence, leadership, honesty, and courage! You really BIG HOMIE MAX now!! Time really flies!! ❤️🤞🏾♾️
Mikey Williams has plead guilty to a single count of making criminal threats. The charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor if Mikey completes anger and gun safety courses before his sentencing date, of August 24th, 2024.
I don’t have much of a sales pitch. My work speaks for itself and the people from my program will speak for me. I don’t have to try and persuade you, manipulate you, use my network to get you to work with me, come find you, etc; You will come find me when you want to get better!
Y’all love these celebrities so much that it’s weird! Defend them before you defend your family, your homies, show love to their brands and repost their work more than you support your own people! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
My life changed for the better forever when I stopped worrying about what others thought about me and let God mold me into who He wanted me to be!! I feel free. I feel at peace. I never have to prove anything. I just work really hard & walk in purpose with extreme confidence!
Don’t wait until you’re struggling to put in work!! If you’re work is inconsistent I can pretty much guarantee inconsistency in game! This basketball grind is all year around. In season and out of season. Ain’t no way around the WORK!!!! WORK ON YOUR GAME DAILY!!
Young people, if you don’t listen to wise counsel, accept constructive criticism, be held accountable by the people who really love you, want what’s best for you, God will allow the world/tough experiences to teach you. It’s better to learn by revelation than by tribulation!
I love KD. He’s one of my top 3 favorite players ever but hes got to add more to his game. Shooting over the top isn’t enough anymore. He needs more/better footwork when he comes to a stop & quicker more unpredictable counters off the bounce. He has to pass better out of doubles!
