Basketball is one of the greatest ways to impact our youth! I’m excited to join the Hoop Town project that will bring hope and purpose to thousands of urban underserved kids every year. The kids impacted at Hoop Town will be my best “Human Highlight Reel” yet. I hope you will join me.  If we work together, this project is sure to be a slam dunk!
