Hard to believe it's June already, but this month takes me back to all of the memories of my childhood like being out of School, Vacation, Swimming, Cookouts, and more! But mostly, I remember back to my passion for Summer Basketball. My Summer's were consumed with working on my B-ball skills, playing in various Summer Leagues, and going to and later working at Basketball Camps. All these years later, I couldn't have guessed that my Summer's would still be consumed with Basketball! But, I certainly feel privileged to be able say so...
