13 years. Countless gyms. Living on plane. Over million of kids playing at MADE (literally). A hell of a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. This shit ain't easy but it's sure as hell worth it. MADE started with a simple goal - to build something for the next generation of hoopers that we never had. A platform rooted in competition, development, community, and opportunity. It's always been about more than basketball. Never in a million years did I think we'd get where we are today. Appreciate everyone who’s believed in this vision from day one. To the basketball community, I’ll just say this — it's OUR Time @madehoops
Pickeball is big business! Turns out it is a real sport and people do watch and it’s most definitely not a fad. Building a new pro sports league from nothing has been fascinating and fun and crazy at times. Excited to welcome our new partners from Apollo and continue building Pickleball Inc with the leaders @connor_pardoe@sodhwani . And of course my fav team owner in sports Tom Dundon.
Introducing #16–#20 on the Pickleball Power 50 List:
16. Jason Aspes
17. Al Tylis
18. Jason Stein
19. Ryan Harwood
20. Charles Darling
These five operate where decisions get made. They set competitive standards, deploy capital, negotiate league-shaping deals, build winning rosters, represent the sport’s biggest star, and scale equipment brands globally. Leagues wouldn’t run properly or potentially even exist without this group.💡

I can't begin to tell you how excited and proud the entire @mbfantasylife team is to work with so many people we've greatly admired, starting with our investor leads @kingjames@mavcarter@jasonwstein and our entire investor base. Excited to continue to help people win and have fun doing it. Not to mention getting folks into a @glchop league.
Holiday Dinner - December 18, 2023. Eating and drinking with friends & family, making a toast, celebrating life. What James lived to do and what we will continue to do in his honor. He’d want celebrations. He’d be devastated not to be at them, but he’d want celebrations. Love ya Chef.
