An idea was unlocked. I would participate in an open tryout for the G League. I was up for the challenge. After all, it wouldn't be the first time I took part in this type of experiential journalism. (Last October, I took a trip to Diamond Gym to put my mental and physical endurance to the test by working out at the "Most Dangerous Gym in America"). The assignment would also allow me to tap into a childhood dream. The game is something that has always been in my DNA. My grandfather ran recreational centers around Kansas City, Kansas. He held winter and summer leagues that I started playing in at the age of 5. Summers consisted of playing in AAU tournaments against some of the nation's top programs with ranked talent like three-time Nike Peach Jam champion MOKAN Elite and KC Run GMC, while winters were for high school basketball. But once high school was over and scholarships for other opportunities outside of basketball poured in, my hoop dreams ended. I would still play in adult leagues (and toast my competition), but if I wanted to be pro-ready, I needed pro advice.
