Danny Green is showing love to a new Long Island business!☕️ The 3x NBA Champion recently stopped by Soft Sips in Baldwin, showing support to the locally owned coffee shop founded by Baldwin native Domonique “Dom” Louis-Charles.

Soft Sips (@softsipscoffee) was created to be more than just a place to grab coffee, it’s a space centered around community, connection and bringing something special to Baldwin.

And the LITT team has tried the coffee ourselves… we can confirm, it’s AMAZING. ☕️🔥

We love seeing Long Island show up for Long Island! 👏🏾

📍 Soft Sips

WELCOME TO THE TB COLLECTIVE, MALACHI MILLER
They say a great boxing referee is rarely noticed—but controls the flow of the fight, creating the space for the boxers to determine the outcome.
The same of a great basketball point guard. The best point guards don’t always need to be the loudest player on the floor. They see the game, control the tempo, deliver the ball where it needs to go, and move the pieces on the chessboard so that everyone around them can be better.
Malachi Miller is that point guard AND MORE.

LAS VEGAS BIG TIME tournament is in the books as Salt Lake Rebels 15u wrapped up their travel season with a strong showing in the desert.
The 15u Rebels showed a lot of grit during their wins AND losses on the 3Stripes Gold Circuit 💪🏾
Although they didn't qualify for nationals, they began building a foundation to make a run at Rock Hill next year🤞🏽
These kids played "Let'sJustPlayHard" basketball in Vegas & fought their way to a Runner-Up finish in the championship game
🥈🏆
We're proud of these guys for the progress they continued to make during this 1st year in our travel program 👍🏾
Big thx to Gary Charles & the Big Time tournament staff for hosting another great event to close out the summer ☀️
Also, huge thx to the 15u parents who supported & trusted the process this year 💯

Go Rebels 🏀

A Big Shout Out to Gary Charles and the Las Vegas Big Time Basketball Tournament 🏀

From We All Win Las Vegas, we want to recognize and appreciate Gary Charles, one of the visionaries behind the legendary Las Vegas Big Time Basketball Tournament.
