What I look like apologizing for anything I’ve said?!

Yall don’t know ball.. not like me 🤪
One of the world’s FIRST two-way positionless players.. I got receipts don’t wuwwy…

20 years of high level ball… #8 CLASS OF 2005 🥱

✅PG in Chicagoland (PUBLIC SCHOOL).. (2004 IHSA downstate runner up, upset of No. 1 Oak Hill Academy, Mr. Illinois Basketball)
✅PF/C AAU/Nike EYBL (2004 Peach Jam Champ/MVP🤌🏿)
✅SF (National Camps/USA Select) #1 SF [Rivals.com but Bill Self (Mr. BS no. 1) lied about me playing the wing too.. (6’8” 215 ONLY PF at KU then NBA?..) 🤔]

STILL WENT 13TH (LOTTERY) PLAYING OUT OF MY “NATURAL” NBA POSITION!

Apolitical, not voting for The Antichrist in 2008 led to more BS.. Mr. BS No. 2 (Byron Scott) puts me in the “doghouse” per the orders of his “handlers” (Revelation 2:9/3:9ers mmhmm… I overstand it now…) with a smaller platform I was @fchwpo without the 2nd contract because I didn’t wanna play their media darling game… Jesus was apolitical too but supposedly 2 billion “followers” are deluded to think they all on the narrow road… it’s beyond me..

I digress… still played 4 years.. 1st round picks are only guaranteed 2 years.. must have still been decent enough… I was really like that but I’m thankful to pass down high level knowledge and try to keep your kids from SELLING THEIR SOULS! THAT PART!

2012 G-League champs (Austin Toros/Spurs) then 10 years overseas seeing what Kobe didn’t wanna tell yall.. they have 5 team practices, 3 lifts, 3 skill days, 1 shootaround, and 1 game per week.. rinse & repeat + FILM STUDY, NOT VIRAL CLIP HUNTING!

I mentored and did private training with younger pros who practiced with us.. some went onto play EUROLEAGUE… I know my calling is to help the next gen of families, athletes, coaches, trainers, and sports biz professionals…

I know more than ball… I know business… trends… have a dope sports tech team building a league with parity.. not politics.. told yall I don’t do politics although I overstand it..

If you are fired up like I am (happily retired and ready to serve) then check my link in the bio or below…

Remember… Ordinary is a choice… ADAPT!

As I am enrolled in a voice lesson, stage presence, and marketing class, I thought I’d dig in the crates to about 4 years ago when I dared sing Karaoke without warming up my voice (end of the song I scratched on a couple high notes 🤭)! But you hear it! Finally ready to come out my shell and let the world really hear my voice without it strained due to 15+ years screaming over thousands of people and 10,000 practices.

Earlier: the INTRO.
Now: the OUTRO. 🎹

Two Halves opens with “Two Halves” and closes with “Hacked Into My Heart.”

Makes sense that the last record has a tech metaphor… computers + music have been connected in my life since I was a kid. 😂💻

My sound?

NEO-URBAN SOUL (yes, I coined it, duh it’s me.. the cool nerd! 😎🤓 (“Two Halves” again..)

Rap × R&B × soul × gospel influence × blues × poetry… and whatever else the record needs.

On this one I’m experimenting with a light New Orleans bounce + touches of Caribbean/West Indies rhythm underneath the R&B/soul foundation.

Not trying to fit a box.

I’m trying to find MY sound.

I grew up hearing everything.

Linkin Park. DMX. Jagged Edge. 112. Mýa. Aretha. Eric Benét. The O’Jays. Prince. Ohio Players. Gospel.

I was the algorithm before the algorithm. 😂

So Two Halves is my preseason.

Perform it.
Watch it back.
Get (vocally) coached.
Hear the feedback.
Adjust.
I WANT constructive criticism.

You don’t have to tell me I’m your favorite singer, rapper, poet, songwriter, or producer. 😂

Just tell me what hits.
What grows on you.
What doesn’t.
What you want to hear more of.

That feedback helps me build toward the 30-song double album, The Juprint.

And I’m also looking beyond myself.

DFW:
🎙️ singers / rappers / poets
🎹 producers / musicians
🎚️ engineers
💃🏽 dancers / choreographers
🎥 photographers / videographers

Studio shadowing. Athlete-artist showcases. Collaborations. Potential future project contributions when the fit is right.

TAP IN.
DMs open.
Under 18 → have a parent/guardian contact us.

Two Halves — 12/14/26, Lord God willing.

This is just preseason. 👀

Basketball was the window.
It was never the whole house. 🏀🎹💻

Music came first for me, and naturally.. actually..
Nobody taught how to have perfect rhythm and perfect pitch..

Choir at 5 helped me realize what I am capable of though. Keyboard at 7. Writing songs by 8. Mom teaching me how to type at 9. Watching her direct choirs and decipher EVERY section. Making beats on MTV Music Generator. Dubbing cassettes.

My preteen artist name was Ju Ju Bee too… leave me alone. 🐝😂

Then basketball started opening doors and my support system in so many words, gave me some GREAT advice:

“You can always work on music. You can’t always play basketball.”

So I maximized that window.

Now I’m retired.

Later is here.

That’s a big part of what we’re building through ADAPT SportFit Global Hybrid.

Not random drills.

Curriculum + creativity + film + feedback + movement + technology + life skills.

Motion Mondays: movement/mechanics/spacing… even exploring dance + choreography through the basketball lens.

.WAV Wednesdays: sound, creativity, music + tech.

Freestyle Fridays: what happens when Plan A disappears?

Then analyze. Adjust. ADAPT.

Starting Q2 of our training year on December 7th, I want to begin pairing basketball clinics with athlete-artist/community experiences, studio opportunities, tech/STEM networking and eventually international touring.

Hoop families — Global Hybrid Memberships are open.

Want ADAPT in your city?

CITY + WHAT YOU DO + HOW YOU FOUND US.

Info in bio,m. DMs open. Let’s connect however it makes sense.

Under 18 → parent/guardian contact only.

Shameless plug of our slogan..
Ordinary is a choice… ADAPT!

LET’S BUILD! GLOBAL HYBRID MEMBERSHIPS ARE LIVE! LINK IN BIOOOOOOSKI!

Free Game + Fellowship will be on IG, FB, and then eventually X, YouTube, and TikTok (go follow on socials so I can get these pages to 1K and go live 🤪).

Let me know in the comment section some things that y’all think can improve the U.S. grassroots in particular, to get these young athletes film ON PAR with transfer portal and overseas players (20+) coming to take these NCAA jobs?? 🤔

It’s a big risk to stay in a waning zone press 🥱 zone offense 🥱 non-shot clock 🥱 next-level mid ranger (high school 3P line) 🥱…

You think coaches have time to watch 60 games and see if you shor far enough for it to count while they can trust the data of an overseas player and transfer portal player shooting 45% from 3P.. and knows how to get work on their own (we call it DIY Hoop Homework)? And are most likely stronger?.. And knows how to watch film and not spending all day editing highlights with “full court trap” music on it..?

Hence the slogan..

A scoring reel never tells me enough. As staff am I evaluate players, we put on the coaches hat and want to guide players willing to do the little things like looking for screens to set, talking about assignments and organizing each other, smart rotations, effort on rebounds and the habits that travel when the shot isn’t yours down the floor or when it’s not falling. For private film evaluation, send parent/guardian name, young athlete name + age group and an unlisted link or authorization for dallastribesbc@gmail.com to view/download the film. Link in bio to sign up for a longer look this fall and winter for ultimate spring/summer team assignments.

Submit private links along with parent/guardian contact info to DallasTribesBC@gmail.com and see full evaluation clinic details at the link in bio.

In-person evaluations help us define roles and determine the best spring/summer pathway: Top Team or Development Team. Film adds context before the gym evaluation. We are offering some spots on our teams based on video submission of scoring highlights, a strong game, and a difficult game. Submit private links along with parent/guardian contact info to DallasTribesBC@gmail.com and see full evaluation clinic details at the link in bio.

Dallas Tribes, babyyy! We are here for families that seek to play at the next level.. PERIOD! We don’t have to wait at the finish line for players.. we will develop them so they are well-equipped by the time they are 19 years old.

The player development pathway is thankfully shifting from “how deep is your bag?” to “do these young athletes know ball?”

What are there practice habits like? Who are they learning the game from? How do they play if they aren’t the number one or two option?

We want to help young athletes maximize their teenage potential clock while training and practicing with us.. We are looking for players that want to do all of the boring things well enough to become one of a few college-age students in a different tax bracket!

Are you willing to get up some mornings early in the morning? Are you ready for 30-minute pre-practice film sessions and shootarounds? Are you ready to run modern offensive playbooks built around reads and reaction rather than one ball-dominant player shooting or assisting on most plays? Are you ready to be coached by former collegiate and pro players who thrived in multiple roles and positions, aiding in privileged mentorship? Are you ready to escape the shoe circuit and school team politics for a year-round international schedule?

Then what are you waiting on?? Click the link in the bio and sign up as well as take advantage of this opportunity to send game film ahead of time for a free 15-minute film study and evaluation for serious families.

We’re here to serve — here to build!

I’ve been a point guard, wing, power forward and center.

I’ve experienced Chicagoland basketball, Nike grassroots competition, Kansas, the NBA, the G League and 10 seasons overseas.

Now I’m bringing those lessons home.

For years, I heard the complaints about youth basketball. Instead of continuing to complain, I decided to help build a better development option.

Dallas Tribes BC is faith-based, family-first and pro-led.

We’re combining:

🏀 Smaller 10-player rosters
🏀 More practices than unnecessary game weekends
🏀 Film study and honest role education
🏀 Two-way, positionless and specialist development
🏀 Shot clocks, next-level spacing, pace and range
🏀 Guard, wing, big and hybrid curriculum
🏀 Family education and a parent-controlled workflow
🏀 One club pathway through the scholastic and circuit seasons

We don’t want to wait at the finish line for already-developed players. We want to lock in with families, teach the game and help athletes develop evidence that can translate.

U11–U16 preseason evaluations begin August 18–19 in Roanoke, Texas.

$65 PRESEASON TRIAL
Two 90-minute evaluation entries

$225 Team TRIAL
10 extended evaluation entries and/or invited practices

Both include five-month Hybrid Membership access, film submission and a 15-minute synchronous film study.

BALLISLOVE 2K27 (Release Date: October 5, 2026)
ATHLETES AND/OR ARTISTS, TAP IN!

Coach JuJu aka Ju MIDI,rode around yesterday on .WAV Wednesday finishing up fresh content for our new onboarding of global hybrid members! ADAPT appreciates the ones who have taken a chance on GREATNESS on and off the court! We dare to be different. Coach JuJu/Ju MIDI has rocked stages around the world and completed two self-produced mixtapes while in the NBA (under the radar), which were hosted by legendary Don Cannon with huge features in Kendrick Lamar, Shawnna, and BJ The Chicago Kid on his second project during the 2011 NBA lockout.

He was heavily inspired by the late Wayman Tisdale, a former University of Oklahoma standout and NBA Star. Tisdale went on to write music and play the guitar with accolades to show. At ADAPT, we encourage everyone to be MORE THAN AN ATHLETE so we have guests come on livestreams to balance our subscribers out with different off-the-court opportunities that may shape them beyond basketball.

TEASERS
1st Slide: Full Court Pressure (Single: 8/21/26)

It’s summertime, let’s ADAPT together. Click the links in the bio to see if what we are building (global hybrid memberships, coaches clinics, athlete-artist showcases, and eventually an international league with multiple competition tiers) makes sense for you as a family, athlete, coach, trainer, or sports biz professional.

Monthly Musical Musings (Crooner Bars)… had to push my projects back but for good/safe reasons.. caught a bad cold (something’s going around…) prior to recording in the end of May so now I’m resting my voice and getting it back to before all the screaming on the court!

Also, I’m setting aside more time to send rough prints of some songs for potential features for my projects; I’m excited to give yall something quirky, dope, original, and wholesome without cussing.. like Afrobeat music 😜

Ay.. NEVER say someone stole your joy.. that means YOU allowed it! This is just the beginning post-retirement! May we all cultivate our talents to share with others!

iSing. iRap. iWrite. iProduce. iCompose.
No AI needed.. nothing to prove.. when I was pigeonholed by @officialbyronscott and the Hornets because I was back then and still am apolitical and didn’t vote for the Beast.. (🥱), I focused on what I could control as a HEALTHY OUTLET (not hard drugs or hyper fixation type of addictions..), and although a “rookie/novice” iHumbly & boldly just reached out to folks.. this was the mixtape era remember?! So I came out with on the low (did it for me!) 2 self-produced mixtapes in the NBA hosted by Don Cannon (Cannonnnn-Cannonnnnn!!!); 2nd one featured Shawnna, BJ The Chicago Kid & Kendrick Lamar.. Tap in.. iTook songwriting and production classes at UCLA during the NBA Lockout in 2011… iOn like hearing my people complain so much! You know life gonna give you lemons.. so keep that SUGAR WATER ON YA, BAEEBAY (NOLA ACCENT)!!!

Tap in, g.. iGot 4-figure 🔥songs with my updated sound… Ju MIDI, babyyy!
