"Bout that Life" AAU Basketball and Life talk Episode 21

Coach C. Collins and Coach MJ are ready to talk more AAU basketball, life and everything in between. In this episode, the coaches have the opportunity to sit down with the founder/director of the Matt Barnes Elite AAU program, Danielle Barnes. If you didn't figure out the connection from her last name she is the sister of Ex NBA player Matt Barnes.  Her perspective is truly unique because she not only has family ties to Sacramento, the Bay Area and Northern California but she has seen the process amongst her family of the beginning to the end of chasing that pro athlete dream. With 4 boys of her own she has a very interesting vantage point and her story needs to be told.

 

Also the group talks about the Police in America Seem to be losing there minds with the recent death of Dante Wright, the terrible treatment of  LT. Nazario, in Chicago a 13 year old killed Adam Toldedo and the Sergeant from fort Jackson Johnathan Pentland harassing a black man walking on the sidewalk all while the George Floyd Trail is presently going on. This past month has been difficult for society and the coaches want to put there 2 cents in about the current status.

The NBA has its story lines, Kevin Durant going toe to toe with the media, referees not doing the job accurately, players taking to much time off and just watching the season unfold.

AAU and High school basketball are actively being played at the same time and now kids are having to choose which one to do is discussed and much more with a hot take fresh off the oven.
