Look at Chad with my son’s godfather Jimbo! They FaceTimed me from the Eagles tailgate while I was at work, and it was great seeing them together. Chad is well known on social media, and Jimbo is a die-hard Eagles fan and season ticket holder. He and his son have been interviewed by the news several times and even got a special tour of the Eagles stadium. Seeing those two together was huge! I wish I could’ve been there, but I’m working another 16-hour shift. What a great Eagl

Here are some highlights from my sons’ football game yesterday! 🏈 Burlington City 12U beat Pennsauken 23–13! 💪🏾

My 3 boys out here putting in work on the football field. 🏈💙 And yes, Angelo is officially playing football for the first time. I know many of you may be surprised or even question why he’s out there, especially knowing what he has been through. Angelo had brain surgery and was diagnosed with seizures and ADHD, so of course I had concerns about him playing football. But before anybody starts tripping on me 😂, this was HIS decision. He was persistent, kept asking, and even

Burlington City Basketball Ever since I moved to Burlington City, I’ve been paying attention to the young athletes around here. When my sons moved in with me full-time about seven years ago, they were coming from Frederick, Maryland, where they had been living with their mother and attending school. Once they came to live with me and started attending Wilbur Watts, I was still trying to learn Burlington City and figure out what was available for them. At that time, I actually

Here’s a few clips of my sons putting in work on the football field over the past two weeks. 🏈💪🏾 As some of y’all know, DeBron wasn’t too crazy about football before, but now he’s starting to like it more as he learns the game. Every practice I can see him getting better and better. He’s pretty good at catching the ball, and his speed is definitely improving. I’ve been trying my best to capture both of my sons because DeBron and Cameron play in two different age groups, 14

A lot of people see Def Familia today, but they don’t know where the vision really came from. More than 25 years ago, I had a plan. My dream was to make it to the NBA, and I already knew what I wanted to do if that opportunity came. I wanted to use that platform and that money to establish my own business, create opportunities, bring people together, and build something much bigger than myself. Before that NBA tryout ever happened, I had already played three years of basketba

From Trenton to Burlington City: Finding Accessibility, Community & a Basketball Home Before moving to Burlington City, I really didn’t know what to expect. Trenton will always be part of who I am. That’s where I’m from, and basketball is a big part of the culture I grew up around. For a long time, I honestly believed Trenton was the city where the real ballers were. But eventually, as a Deaf father raising my sons, I reached a point where I needed something different for my

Ball Up at Moody Park 🏀 After spending some time with their Uncle Nass, we stopped by Moody Park before heading home. Of course, once my boys saw the court, they had to get some work in. 🏀💪🏾 No matter where we go, if there’s a basketball court around, they’re ready to hoop. It’s bigger than just playing basketball — every time they touch the court is another opportunity to work, compete, learn and get better. The grind doesn’t always have to happen in a gym. Sometimes you

My boys and I went to visit my brother—their uncle—and spent some time with him. Before heading home, I took the boys to Moody Park, where we played two games. After that, we stopped at Halo Farm to grab some juices and ice cream. While we were waiting in line, I noticed this guy who looked familiar. I’ve seen him at almost every big basketball game around Trenton, especially high school games and over at Cadwalader Park. While I was paying, he walked up to my boys and asked,

Yaxel Lendeborg has established himself as one of the most complete players in college basketball. His ability to score at all three levels, dominate the boards, protect the rim, and create opportunities for his teammates makes him a rare all-around talent. Unlike many players who specialize in just one area, Lendeborg consistently impacts every aspect of the game. His combination of size, athleticism, basketball IQ, and relentless effort allows him to take over games on both

As the 2026 NBA Draft comes to a close, one question stands above the rest: Which rookie will make the biggest impact? The No. 1 overall pick, BYU star AJ Dybantsa, is the early favorite. His explosive athleticism, aggressive slashing ability, and scoring instincts make him an ideal fit for the Washington Wizards. Another strong contender is Kansas point guard Darren Peterson, whose versatile offensive game and playmaking skills could make him an immediate difference-maker fo

Everyone’s been talking about this year’s rookie class, but Meleek Thomas has quietly been one of the biggest standouts of Summer League. Through his first three games, the No. 34 overall pick has averaged 28.3 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 4.3 APG, and 2.3 SPG while shooting 50% from the field and 45.8% from three.
