NBA Summer League in Vegas 2024!!!
​An incredible trip for Elite Sports Empowerment Inc.! We just returned from an exhilarating experience at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas!
It was a fantastic opportunity to see up-and-coming talent on display, connect with industry leaders, and immerse ourselves in the energy of pro basketball. We also had the chance to attend the European Exposure Camps, where we discovered international prospects making their mark in the game.
To cap it all off, we participated in the SMWW Basketball Conference, featuring the legendary Larry Riley as a guest speaker! His insights on the game and the business of basketball were truly inspiring.
We’re grateful for the experiences we shared and the connections we made. Here’s to empowering the next generation of basketball stars!

Fun times connecting in Little Rock!
​Dr. Garner and I had a great opportunity to meet with Jushun Blackmon one of the co-owners of Little Rock Lighting as they were attending and marketing the team at the 5th Annual Black Founder's Summit hosted by CEO Benito Lubazibwa of ReMix Ideas. The event was amazing as it gave insight and valuable advice to local Black-owned businesses in the area. The Little Rock Lightning Dance Team entertained the attendees as the team shared its plans for the future! Also had a chance to meet Arlo Washington from the Oscar-nominated documentary "The Barber of Little Rock" as well as hear from so many successful business owners and leaders in the area. Thank you to the Lighting co-owner Jushun Blackmon and the entire organization for their warm hospitality. Jushun's vision for the team's future is inspiring and his passion for elevating sports in their community is contagious.

Exciting times in Indianapolis at the 2025 TBL Combine! It’s always a pleasure to work alongside Fiskites and support our own. Huge congratulations to Kevin Waters, Owner of the Jacksonville 95ers, as he embarks on his 2nd season in the league!
Watching my classmate Fred evaluate talent with his professional experience was truly inspiring. I was honored to step in for Jushun Blackmon, Owner of the Little Rock Lightning, to grab the number 1 spot, negotiate trade deals, and represent at the draft table—all while soaking in the weekend's festivities.
Had the chance to connect with a few former NBA greats, which was unforgettable! Wishing all teams the best of luck for a successful season ahead.
I’m also looking forward to our basketball clients making it to the All-Star roster in Maryland this March!
