Wassup blog fam? Life has been kind of hectic since the draft. The day after the draft I went over to meet with the New Jersey Nets and the local media. At the press conference I got my first official NBA Jersey. I’m going to be wearing number 8. Number 8 is all about reminding me about where I came from. First, my family was on section 8 when I was younger. For those of you that don’t know what that is, just enter section 8 into Google. To go from that to being in the NBA is an amazing feeling. I just never want to lose sight of that. As well, everyone knows I grew up in Seattle. The Seattle area code is 206. Those numbers add up to eight, so #8 just felt right.
After my meeting with the Nets I headed back out to Seattle to hang out with family and friends and celebrate getting drafted and my birthday. The only problem was that I got sick right before I got there, so there wasn’t much partying for me. I did get a chance to work out with Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson. It’s good having homies from my hometown in the NBA that I can work out with and get advice from.
After my short stay in Seattle I went straight out to Orlando to meet up with my summer league squad. I’ll tell you all about what that was like in my next blog post. I also have some video on my flipcam from the draft. I’ve just been so busy that I haven’t had time to upload it for y’all. I’ll have it up up soon though. For now, take care and God Bless!
