MAKING “D” LEAGUE
“I know n*ggas that never made it, everybody would sweat him / He jumped out the whole park, NBA never met him...” — Joe Budden, “The Future”
Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody who…could potentially play in the NBA. If you’ve spent any number of hours in the gym, at the YMCA or, better yet, out at the park, you’ve no doubt come across at least one dude that could play ball well enough to play professionally somewhere. I mean, somebody out there in your world has to be as good as, say, Jose Barea, right? (just an example, folks — don’t act like you weren’t wondering who the short guy on the Mavs’ bench was, too)
Well, the NBA has teamed up with Miller Lite for the Go Pro Challenge. Basically, you make your own 3-minute video showcasing what you’ve got on and off the court, submit it, and then get voted on YouTube-style for a chance to be 1 of 30 players (also called the “Miller 30 Pack”) invited to the NBA Development League Pre-Draft Camp on July 28-29. A panel of judges will select the first 29 players. The fans will choose the final slot.
Go post something now. ‘Cause, uh, you don’t wanna see Dean Cain holding down the last open spot, right? It sure beats waiting for that call that's never gonna come.
