POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

36 years in the making! I first started playing basketball at the age of 14. I grew up mostly playing 3 on 3 on low rims at an elementary school in my neighborhood. On my recent vacation back home I went back to the very school/court where my undying love and admiration for the game sprouted uncontrollably. Sure, the original court and rims are long gone but THIS is EXACTLY where it all started.

Now. The MAN on the left. That is the one, single person who pushed me to become better, strive for the next level. He single handedly lit the fire under my ass every time we hooped. He was always faster than me, stronger than me and hit so many daggers in my eye which is exactly what drove me to get better. 36 years later and here we are! Taking a photo together where we became hoopers. An absolute honor @lee_yo11 🙏🏾🏀✊🏾. Do you remember where you first hooped? Do you remember your OG bball homies? If so, then you know how special all this is.

Thank you for reading and if you can, share your roots for 🏀 in the comment section. Peace out guys🤙🏾.

My bro @basketopia pulled up to watch us cook! I shut down every person that I was guarding and had them going to the other side of the court! My side was shut down! Lol 🗜🤷🏾‍♂️😂

Early winter gray light. Sitting by the sliding paper doors with my camera. The yellowing of the outsoles. Letting the light tell me what to do, what to capture. Used in rain. Used in snow. Used to hoop in. An overdue show of respect to my favorite AJ of all time: Air Jordan XII Playoffs. 💥Would love for my IG BBALL family to share their single favorite Air Jordan of all time in the comments これまでで一番好きなエアジョーダンは何ですか?
投稿にコメントしてください 💥. Peace.
