All of the training, everything I've been through, everything, has gone into this video. In this video, I show you RAW footage from my NBA G League Tryout with the Osceola Magic. Watch the full video to see how I performed. Thank you all for the support. The love you all have shown throughout this journey has allowed me to have the courage to keep going.
Should I tryout for more G League Teams before the season starts? Lmk in the comments!

Weight room, hit it hard, at your size you need to be the fastest on the court, and your passes have to have smoke coming off them. Throw slow passes like that in the NBA and guys are going to be headed the other way for dunks. Stronger core, legs, arms, all of that will help your shot too because from three you are kinda flinging it right now. Work on your balance, your handle, you have to be able to change directions, accelerate, stop, with certainty you know exactly where the ball is and absolute control of your body and the ball.

@@kingkyahwatching a lot of videos about smaller guards on youtube. Op makes very valid points and you can get the same advice from a lot of coaches on youtube and also reddit community r/basketball and r/basketballadvice has a ton of helpful people there. Basically just online resources alone are good but actual coaches are just more helpful because of in person communication.

@wl6020 11 месяцев назад

Its crazy how hard it is to make it. Even if you have the right size for your nba position, thousands upon thousands of former college players can practice, work hard their entire life and still not come close to making it to the nba. Most of these guys played in college and whatever they did there means nothing if you cant outshine someone else.

I felt Matt played pretty well. There were some plays where he was a little bit passive, and in some of one v one drills. He was taking tough shots that could’ve been easier shots. Such as pulling up because of a lot of players were sagging. Besides that he made good decisions knocked his shots down. Keep going brother

@javanabernard4129 11 месяцев назад

I just want to say it’s amazing that you filmed your experience that takes a lot vulnerability and courage. For the record, the staff saying you can’t ask questions about a drill but to figure it out is absurd to me lol I’m familiar with these environments and the pressure they impress on you is tough so kudos to you! 👏🏽

@mattilodigwe5 11 месяцев назад

@IsDatJC 11 месяцев назад

It’s not that absurd lol just pay attention and if you trying out for a g league team you should already know majority of drills

@javanabernard4129 11 месяцев назад

@@IsDatJC Asking questions is a sign of paying attention as well though lol not everyone has the same level of comprehension. As for drill knowledge that’s subjective to the coaching staff you had not the player fault if they weren’t familiar with the drills 🤷🏽‍♀️ but I understand what you mean

That's not what he said though. He said don't ask a million questions. You are the kind of person he's talking about, the ones that can't listen properly and then open their mouths from a point of ignorance.

@2SmoothV 11 месяцев назад

You have good potenial man. You have to get sharper though.. I played with a lot of G league guys before, and they are a hair behind the NBA guys.. At your height you game has to be close to perfection. Take this as a learning experience, I think you have a good chance of playing Pro,, even if its not in the US, overseas could be a option.

@wl6020 11 месяцев назад

There will always be a point where someone can never get any better no matter how hard they try or practice, everyone has a limit. The g league is still the 1% of the 1% of the 1%. A ton of guys can never even make it to their high school jv team. I read somewhere that just to get into a d3 basketball team, its like 1 out of 100 high school varsity players.

He watch me win vs 150 competiters. My team name was the SBA Orlando Magic. Curly Neal then put in the name in 1988 for the expansion team from orlando. It made top 3 names, then voted on by the community. Of course it won, thats how the team got its name. Your Welcome Orlando, lol
