Slow start down in Myrtle Beach, but we got back in our groove and finished the job, bringing home the NTBA GOLD CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆🥇!

The development never stopped, and all the hard work paid off. Proud of the way y’all stayed together, battled through adversity, and finished strong. This is just another step in the journey.

Good work, fellas! Enjoy it, then let’s get back to work. The mission isn’t finished. OTR NEXT!!! 💪🏾🏀🔥

“We laced up one more time, not just for the game, but for each other. This might be the last run, but the bond we built goes far beyond the court. This is bigger than basketball—it’s about life, loss, and leaning on your brothers when it matters most.”

Some will say this was an All-STAR TEAM.

This one was special.
This one was with and for a purpose beyond basketball. We came together not just for the love of the game 🏀, but for Tj. @t1_goin_d1

I had the chance to coach—most of the kids I’ve worked with or helped coach since moving to Georgia. That moment, that unity, speaks volumes about the respect they have for me, for each other, and for what we’ve built. 🏆🏆🏆

To my guys, thank you for an amazing season. We did what they said we couldn’t do. We earned our respect from EVERYONE.

We took the long route. No shortcuts. No handouts. Just hard work, commitment, and DEVELOPMENT ONLY!!!!

Watching you guys grow, battle through adversity, and prove yourselves has been an honor. You trusted the process, bought into the vision, and showed what happens when you stay the course.

Proud of every single one of you. This is just the beginning. 💪🏾🏀

Man… what a season. I truly enjoyed every minute of it. Watching y’all grow and develop right in front of me was something special. We faced adversity every single game losing players early, dealing with injuries but y’all never folded. The next man always stepped up, and that says everything about who we are as a team.

I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t stressful at times, but I wouldn’t trade it for nothing. We built something special this season, and I hope we keep building on it. We finished 3-1 at the Final Run Championship 🏆 and won the left side of the bracket another statement of who we are. If people didn’t know about the new Elite Playmakers 2029 before… I guarantee they know now. We proved we belong no doubt a top 25 15U team on the OTR circuit.

Proud of every single one of y’all 💪🏾

It all started with an idea that Coach B @addicted2hundos and I talked about. Then we brought it to Coach P and got to work. We started with just 8 kids last year, and now we have 3 teams all in one year.

YP is more than a team; it’s a movement. The growth has been incredible, and we’re just getting started. YP is growing fast 💨🔥🏀 #YPMovement #BuiltNotBought #GrowthSeason taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @coachant_87

Normally, I’m busy on the road with my 9th-grade boys, but this weekend I had the opportunity to be present with our 3rd-grade group and we brought home some hardware! 🏆

Proud of these young fellas and the work they continue to put in. The development never stops! 💪🏾🏀 #YP #PlayerDevelopment #ChampionshipMindset taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @coachant_87

Good first weekend out. Success isn’t measured by wins or losses you measure it by how much you learn, how you grow, and the kind of young men you become. We’ve got more work to do, but we’re definitely on the right track.
