1.) Her outlook on the future of Hong Kong basketball.

2.) Her future plans in terms of basketball and life.

3.) What needs to be done for Hong Kong to reach its full potential in basketball.

Jason Thompson: Fighting Against The Odds

Jason Thompson is a special guest. I had the good fortune of playing with him when I was in high school in New Jersey during some ad hoc tournaments. It has been so cool to watch Jason develop from a kid that went to Lenape High School, that was recruited by Rider University (Mid major D1) and make it to the NBA! I spoke with Jason about:

1.) How he beat the odds to go from a Mid Major D1 school to playing 8 years in the NBA

2.) His work ethic during those years that led up to the NBA

3.) Aspects of the NBA that we may not see from the outside.

4.) The JT foundation and what he is doing philanthropically. and a lot more!

Thank you Jason so much for coming on. Was great to reconnect with you and love everything that you are doing from coaching to giving back to the community.
