🎙️ The Basketballists | Episode 62
Recognition Comes With RESPONSIBILITY

In Episode 62 of The Basketballists, the crew — Jordan, Ralph, and Steve — dive deep into an important topic every basketball player needs to understand: recognition doesn’t come without responsibility.

The conversation explores real-life hypotheticals that athletes commonly face throughout their basketball journey, from increased attention to expectations, decision-making, and accountability. The crew breaks down what players should be aware of as their platform grows, and how to handle opportunities the right way — on and off the court.

As always, this episode is packed with gems for players, parents, and coaches alike.
