You're listening to The Radcast, a top 25 worldwide business podcast. If it's radical, we cover it. Here's your host, Ryan Alford. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of The Radcast. They say if it's radical, we cover it. Well, it's not only radical, it's a guilty pleasure. I'm an ex-Clemson Tiger. I guess I'm always a Clemson Tiger. Once you're a Tiger,

you're always a Tiger. Just like my buddy Brevin Galloway, pro Lithuanian basketball player and all-time Clemson great. I'm just going to put you on that list, Brevin. What's up, man? Hey, I like it. I like it. That's a crazy statement, but I love it. No, yeah, man.

Hey, a lot of wins, a lot of buckets. I saw a lot of points for you. Watched you on the screen a lot and followed your journey from afar, and I'm glad we could get you on the show. Appreciate you coming on. I'm not mad. It's an honor, for sure. Obviously, I love my time as a Clemson Tiger, Boston College,

and College of Charleston guy. But yeah, man, it was a crazy experience for me throughout the seven years of school for sure. I know, right? You had a journey, man. You talk about, let's just think about, put some miles on. You go to Charleston, to Boston, to Clemson. Now you're in damn Lithuania. I hope you guys are frigging flyer miles. Oh yeah, man. It's crazy. I think about everything that I've been through. It's been fun nonetheless, and it's made me who I am as an individual. I can't do nothing but be grateful for everything that I've experienced and hit head on because it's been a wild ride for sure. I know. That's what I look forward to. I want to get into some of that. So where'd you play high school ball, man? Let's start your journey. Let's just tell everybody the ins and outs of Brevin's basketball journey and maybe just your life journey, man. Let's go there. Yes, I'm originally from Anderson, South Carolina. I went to T.O. Hanna for three years, and then I transferred to Seneca High School,

which was near Clemson, about 15 minutes away from Clemson. So I played basketball growing up my whole life. That's always what I loved to do. My dad was a really big part of my life in terms of putting the ball in my hands. So with that being said, I was always around it. He played at a high level, and he was known as a very good shooter as well. Obviously, the game was just in me since a young kid. And then, obviously, I was able to grow into a good player,

decent player, I would have to say, and make a name for myself along those lines. Basketball has been nothing but great to me. It's taught me through a lot of adversity. It taught me how to be a man. It taught me how to grow up and just become who I've become. So I'm thankful for it. What led you to Charleston? I imagine it was a recruiting thing.

Who recruited you? Who didn't? All that. But how was your time down in Charleston? Charleston was great. That was my first spot. And I went because of Coach Earl Grant. Earl Grant was an assistant at Clemson during a time period before he got the job at Charleston.

So I already had built a relationship with him since Clemson was recruiting me. And then once he got the job at Charleston, it was like an easy decision. I already knew where I wanted to go and spend my four years. I trusted him. My dad was really good friends with him growing up. And I think after college, that's whenever they met. So, yeah, he already had a relationship with him built. So it was pretty much just like an easy yes at that point.

What's it like being at your college, Charleston, playing D1 basketball? I heard there's some pretty good co-eds down at Charl point. What's it like being at your college, Charleston, playing D1 basketball? I heard there's some pretty good co-eds down at Charleston. Were you like a big man on campus? I wasn't. I'll be honest, like growing up, when going to Clemson,

it was like, we was like, go to Charleston, like all the pretty girls go to Charleston and stuff. So when I hear when D1 athletes go there, I'm like,

we're just distractions between the beach and all that. Were you able to keep your head on straight? I imagine you did since you ended up doing so well, but what was the college experience like? That's what's wild, though, because obviously when people see my social media and they obviously get a glimpse of me through that lens, I'm not that type of person at all. People think I'm just an outgoing bar hopper, party animal, and I'm not that way at all.

I'd much rather chill in the crib, watchflix watch love island watch something like that too hot to handle some something like that me and my wife we love those type of shows that's what we would rather do like i maybe have probably went out three four weekends of my college career and that's whenever we made that tournament run yeah and we made the ncaa tournament in charleston that one season that was the most fun just because obviously the city was just loving us at that time period so why not go out and experience that but the nights that i did go out with my teammates and stuff were lots of fun for sure and obviously those are nights that i remember forever but yeah wasn't that wasn't that crazy like people might think it might have been for real yeah well i've always thought it's hard enough like some of the distractions when

you're playing and the attention you get and all that but like then going to a school that has so many things going on, like a city like Charleston and stuff. But I guess it helps if you're naturally not attracted to it to stay away from it. Exactly. Especially, like you said, it was Charleston. It just presents itself there.

So I had to make sure to stay in the crib and stay focused. But at the same time, I did have my nights whenever I did go out into the city and explore things. But that was just me being an 18-year-old, 19-year-old kid at the time. Just finally getting out the house. That's good, man. Then we ventured to Boston College. Talk to me about that, getting up there.

That was probably, definitely would have been a cultural change, I would think. It's just different in the North. Yeah, Boston College. I think that's probably the place where I think I matured the most. Just from the position that I was in my life. Like I said, just had torn my acl and i just gained a whole bunch of weight going through that injury and going through that surgery process so by the time that i got to boston college it was pretty much just me trying to play catch up with everybody and from that point on it's what my whole career was in boston college just trying to play catch up with my peers

trying to make sure that i'm in shape trying to make sure that i can can be healthy again, because that's really all that I was on my mind during Boston College. What do you think, like for people listening that you got a lot of you watching on TV and everybody thinks they know, maybe they think they know and understand what it's like to be a D1 athlete. When you get hurt, the rehab or the practices and the structure and all that, walk us through, maybe even through the lens at like BC or we'll get to Clemson, but just the ins and outs of that, something that maybe people don't totally understand was what it's like. Oh, yeah.

As a college athlete in general, you definitely have more bad days than good. I think that's one thing that people need to know going into it because not every day is going to be roses and sunshines. There's going to be a lot of storms that you have to face and just face head-on early in your career and I feel like that matured me for later on um but yeah I think the biggest thing with just being a college athlete is just really just overcoming adversity because that's what it comes down to when I think about my toughest moments at Boston College just what I had to go through from a mental health standpoint from

dealing with depression anxiety and the suicidal thoughts like like people don't realize that we're actually people too and we have feelings and we have needs that we need to attend to performing stuff on the court because that's all the world sees the world just sees how many points we have how many threes we missed and that's all that's all the DMs I get I never get any supportive DMs about checking in on you how are you doing like when your real life stuff real life problems so i feel like that's just the common thing that college athletes have to deal with is just they treat us like superheroes and like we can just we can handle criticism any kind of way we can deal with but anything that pops up we're just supposed to be able to just deal with it and we're not supposed

to pretty much let it affect us and i felt that's probably the biggest thing that i learned throughout my college career was just like it it's OK not to be OK. And it's OK to speak up about it and actually let the world know that you're not OK. And you may get backlash for it, which I do get on my socials. But at the same time, the small percentage that I can affect in a positive way is what I'm going for. That's powerful, man. And I think what's interesting to me hearing you talk, it makes me think of like the game within the game. Like the fans and us, we think of, OK, Boston College versus Duke and like you're playing the opponent and it's always right.

OK, like you're always going against the opponent. But getting into the personal side, like what you just described, and then I'll even add in the dynamic of competition within the team. Like you're going against a lot. You're going against the opponent any given day or night. But every day you've got yourself, your team, maybe that freshman teammate that just came on that you like him, but he's buying for your time. There's a lot of factors in the game within the game oh

yeah wait and that's really what makes it stressful because it's not like obviously your teammates are supposed to be your brothers but then at the same time you want to outshine your brother because at the same time you want to be able to make sure that i'm gonna be good at the end of the day too yeah there's a lot of battles that you have to like pick and choose like which one is really which one's the one you really want to put all your effort and energy into and fight for. Yeah, those are just decisions that you have to make on a daily basis, though, for real.

How do you – I played basketball growing up. My kids played basketball, and so I know the game. And I'll admit, I think back to when I played, I was going to get my points. But I was for the team, too. I was a team guy. But it's an interesting dynamic getting it man like with basketball because because you're for the team

and you want to win but you want to score too because you know you have ability that's a really interesting dynamic i think about basketball in particular that's not definitely how do you balance those two especially for me at this point in my career because this is going to be the first time that I've played point guard. Obviously, throughout my college career, I've been a shooter. I've been known as a shooter driver. So for me to play point guard now, I've had to shift my whole mindset to be more selfless instead of just think, try to shoot and score. But I feel like I've adjusted to it well because my personality is giving. I feel like that's just what I do naturally. So me giving up the ball is easier than most people probably. But yeah, with that being said it is a tough task

though especially like whenever your role on the team is to score it's the last thing you want to do is just pass or give up an opportunity to score yeah or give up you want to see those double digits on you by your name oh yeah hey you want to be able to post on your instagram that you had 25 at night. That's a great thing to post. People love to do that. Thankfully, you had a lot of those 20-point nights transitioning to where all great things happened. That's Clemson.

Yeah. You come to Clemson in desperate need of a shooter. You provide that. And then some. What was it like playing for Brad Brown now? No, it was great I was thankful that he gave me the opportunity to come back home especially since I'm from the area I wanted that was a childhood dream of mine to play for Clemson I'm very thankful for that opportunity that he allowed me to do especially considering the fact that I had

so many injuries and setbacks he could have easily picked somebody else in the transfer portal from our conversations he trusted me and believed in me and the vision that I had for the program so it was a great honor to play for him especially since i went to all the kids camps growing up and he signed the back of my t-shirts and stuff like that so it was weird to be able to play for him and have him yell at me actually for a couple bats or a couple mistakes but it was a good experience nonetheless you proved him right because you dropped the buckets a lot of them you you were a breath of fresh air from three especially, but your overall game, man, I watched you, man.

I know I always gave you a time, like Clemson grade, whatever, one year. It's probably not fair to ex-Clemson guys that played five years. But in all seriousness, if I was trying to count on one hand, the guys that played one year at Clemson that had the impact, that only played one year, Imson that had the impact that only played one year i think you might make that list there ain't many that had the impact that you had in one year i like that yeah i like that there's a lot right there i appreciate that yeah and look it brings us to today the reality of that the transferring and nil so all that goes down you're gonna look back i think when you get to be my age because you're gonna you're in the times of all that enacting you you're breathing

at four years of charleston a year at boston college a year at clemson all the while all this is swirling and coming and then came while you were a d1 athlete i know it's a lot but talk to me about like peripherally as an athlete watching maybe your feelings before it happened damn i should be getting paid for my lame of course i'd be feeling the same way like how you felt about it and then watching it all unfold yeah honestly just being realistically just being realistic i never thought we would get paid at the end of the day to begin with so it never really crossed my mind in terms of or i never had high hopes pretty much i'll say i never had high on it yeah i wasn't counting on it so whenever it did pass as well like this is actually some opportunities we can jump on so then my mind kind of shifted and then obviously then, obviously, once I signed with my agent, it just took off from there.

And the last two years was crazy. And it's crazy to think about how my whole college career got extended and I was able to capitalize off two years of NIL, which was life-changing. So, yeah, man, I was happy with my last two years, even though I had to go through some injuries and setbacks. But it ended up working out beautifully for me. If, you know, a lot of executives, if you listen to our show, we've got a real wide audience, but probably a lot of parents for parents out there that are curious about this, like what advice now that you've lived to breathe that you probably even

you did well, you have done well. I want to talk about what you can talk about, but like in that regard, what, how should parents think about this and how could they be starting to maximize their children that have the talent to maybe get this kind of attention and be a D1 and all that? Is there advice that you'd give them or the athlete?

I think from a parent's perspective, I guess don't force it on your kids in terms of trying to hope for it because obviously like the beginning NIL deals, I hate to say it, but it's just not fair in terms of who gets them and who doesn't just because it all comes down to attention, social media, clout, and followers.

And you know how it is nowadays. If you can't really make anybody else's attention or bring anybody else in money, you're probably not going to get those deals. So with that being said, obviously, if you have the platform for it, and if you love social media and you like doing that type of stuff, then yeah, go ahead and go all in for it. But if not, and you just want to make some extra money on the side and your kid doesn't really want to give all in for it then don't do it because then it's gonna end up just ruining y'all's relationship probably if you're fortunate on somebody that's what i would have said from the kid from the parent's perspective and from the kid's perspective like i said like obviously if you want a little bit of extra money

in your pocket you can get out of your comfort zone make a couple tiktoks make a couple instagram stories and hey you might get some free food free clothes free gear like whatever it may be like obviously i said like the elite of the elites get money but for their content but like i said those are select few but yeah you gotta just really just do what you want to do obviously if you want to get out of your comfort zone you can but like at the end of the day just do whatever your heart wants yeah it's become fascinating to me this balance between being the content creator and being the superstar athlete those two are very different those two are very different things it's like it's two different worlds it's two different worlds or am i an athlete

they don't always come together right it never it never does and then like especially people in the comments and people on social media in general like they treat you like one or the other so some comments i'll be like okay yeah people so like some people view me as an athlete some people view me as a goofy content creator so i have to live with that obviously because that's what the position i put myself in but still at the end of the day it's funny to think about like how really people treat you differently also based off how they view you they do and like it love to hate it social media is here and it's it brings if you can get your arms around it and embrace it it brings a lot of opportunity oh yeah that's the thing that's what they can have the impact negative too with mental health and all

that so you got to be able to compartmentalize it. Exactly, exactly. And that's where I've had to learn. And that's where I feel like I matured and grew during my time period in Boston because obviously I got on social media and that was whenever I was at my lowest in terms of my weight, my depression, my suicidal thoughts, mental health. That's whenever I was fighting for my life pretty much.

So I would get on, I was already like battling demons inside of me and my mental. And then I would get on Twitter and then see all these other mean tweets about me. So I'm like, dang, like, I really have to like, remember social media is not real life and take a break from it and distance myself from it. And obviously seeing those tweets about me hurt, but I look back to, I look two years now and it's just, wow, I'm happy that I was able to face all that head on because it's made me tougher mentally individual and stuff like that.

What helped you, what helped you just go back back because i think it's so powerful and important like when you look back now and even it never goes away right we're all human beings we're dealing with struggles every day what have been like tactics or things or people like what kind of got you through to the other side yeah that's a great question. I guess just for me, I always have hope. That's one thing that I've always had throughout my life. I always felt like I can take a bad situation and flip it into a good one. And one of my former teammates, Jarrell Brantley, who played in the NBA and he plays overseas now, but he always like growing up, he was my teammate at Charleston.

And he would always tell me like today could be today. And that kind of stuck with me because you never know what day that your whole life could flip. Like, you never know what, like, you could get the contract that day. Your video could go viral that day. Like, you could get good news. And if you stop, then obviously you're never going to get to that good day or that good point. So that was always in the back of my mind going through my dark times and my dark periods. I was like, if I stop now, I'm never going to see the light.

And so that was something that's always stuck with me probably throughout that whole process yeah at the end of the day it's so internal like you can have external things like help but you have to decide for yourself you know that it's it's gonna be all right and start taking steps like building blocks like stacking the wins or stacking the positivity or whatever you got to do you have to you got to find and that's the thing like it's different ways for everybody to do it because and that's the thing people always ask me like how did i overcome it how did i do this like my results and what i did my process is going to be way different than anybody else's and i feel like that's the thing that people need to hear too because there's not like a right way to go about it obviously you're going to have your trial and error methods and you're going to take time to

obviously learn how you need to react in certain situations and how you need to respond but at the end of the day like you just have to whichever makes you happy obviously in a healthy way but you have to pick and choose those methods and go about it that way back to the nil stuff you got with an you got with an agent while you're still in college right because that became legal because nil's there so you've got representation did do you feel like you were able to capitalize better with the agent like bringing you stuff or were you securing your own things oh yeah definitely because that's actually a funny question because whenever nil first started like the first two months obviously i didn't have an agent because i didn't know anything about it and then i was dming companies on my behalf and obviously they were just like just pretty much just responding with a whole bunch of nonsense

like weren't really leading into anything or anything like that so then obviously once i got with my agent once i signed with michael raymond man it was like the next within the next two weeks we had a mercedes deal and i was just pretty much like the host athlete where I did a little meet and greet at a spot in Boston at a little pop up spot in Boston. And that's when I realized I was like, damn, let's really have to have an agent in order to be well connected and to make sure like the things go well. Because obviously I don't have as many connections in my agent who's obviously in the marketing field would have. Once I put those two and two together, I made a list of like agents that hit me up, the pros and cons of each and then i who gratefully signed with one of the best in the business so i'm thankful for that were you getting paid for some of these engagements like between boston college and clemson were you there some that were dollars and some that were trade or

merchandise those kind of things yeah it was a combination of both obviously a certain company is like for example like with amazon i partnered with them and did like my own little clothing line. So I was able to make my own graphic tee. So I got paid to promote their products. And then I also got to have my little own clothing line to the side. So that was one of the cooler deals I feel like that I did throughout my time at Clemson. But yeah, then I have a Shop Gold deal. And that's a jewelry company.

And I was able to, they obviously sent me free jewelry. And then I made TikToks and got paid for that in exchange so those are two of my favorite deals that I probably did within the NIL space but obviously you can get merchandise and pay for both depending on which company and what the contract is what's your like favorite memory at Clemson like that year favorite oh I already know this I think I know I know it, but the audience don't know it. Oh, usually. I think, no, I don't know. I don't know.

I think I know where you're going with it, too, though. But I think for me, it was definitely beating Duke at home in front of the sold-out crowd. That was crazy. Yeah. Cameron's shaking her head. She was there. That was my, because growing up, obviously, me being from Anderson, obviously going to a lot of Clemson games, growing like seeing little john pack like that and then i was just like wow

and half the second half that i did and make the shots that i did i was like wow man that was uh what that inner kid in me was so excited i was like yes and we did it we did it so that was fun that was fun um yeah man, you know, you hate it this way because, like, you love and hate Duke. Like, you respect Duke. Oh, yeah. You get tired of all of it. But then, but damn, it's nice beating him. Oh, that was like, like, whenever I think about that day, I'm like, that's top three moment.

And my other top three moment was whenever we came back and beat Clemson at Boston College. That was crazy, too. I got some good moments in Little John. I know. On both sides. moment was whenever we came back and beat Clemson at Boston College. That was crazy too. I got some good moments in Little John. I know, on both sides. I like the Duke moment way better. That was crazy. That was crazy. It's got to be weird a little bit. You love all the schools. They gave you a chance. You play. They gave you scholarship. I'm sure you love love all three schools but is it a little weird sometimes like where your allegiance lies or is it like that's the thing like i'm never i'm not really a school spirit kind of guy anyways like in terms of i'm obviously i'm gonna still mess with me i'm still gonna mess with them because i'm an alumni and stuff like that but

in terms of i'm not i don't have an allegiance towards one or the other but my favorite spot was charleston far, just because I feel like that's where I spent most of my career there. That's what made me who I am today. Yeah, Boston College and Clemson were good little one-year stops, though. But yeah, I feel like my home is Charleston. Did they feel like pit stops? One year in a way is a long time, but in a way, it's like

blink of an eye, right? Yeah, no, it's a blink of an eye. Whenever they say that 10 months flies by, it flies by. They're not kidding about that. I'm like, ooh, it's a blink of an eye. Like, whenever they say that 10 months flies by, like, it flies by. Like, they're not kidding about that. I'm like, ooh, 10 months as a transfer really does fly by for real. Like, that one-year grad year is crazy. Yeah. I still think we got Hoes not making the tournament.

We won't even go there. Ooh, I could talk about that for a week. I mean, talk about that. For everybody listening that doesn't follow, March Madness is the pinnacle for college basketball in the NCAA tournament. Clemson had one of the greatest years in ACC basketball record-wise for Clemson. It was like 15-5 or 15-6. Yeah, and somehow we got left out of the tournament.

But what was that like going through that process? Man, that was devastating because we all gathered in Little John to watch it, obviously, because we're thinking, man, hopefully we're in a playing game. Hopefully we'll have a playing game and we'll be able to at least try to get in there.

But then obviously we watched it and then as soon as they did that last 11 seed, we were heartbroken. I was like, dang, it's really happening. We're not going to make the tournament. And then it was worth seeing NC State make it just because we beat them three times. Three times in a year.

Three times in a year, all by like over 15, 16 points. Oh, you just destroyed them. Like 25, 20, and like 15 or something. It's crazy. Crazy. Hey, I tried to be positive and try to make the best out of this situation, but then we lost to more heads.

Oh, you can say, Brevin, don't be a nice guy say what you mean it was bullshit we was yeah man it was it was just so it was like because i always ask myself like for the next week i was just like how does that happen like how does that happen but we tried to end it right with more head state but then that season ended abruptly yeah yeah i felt like that was uh i don't know but it's young guys y'all i'm sure you got pumped up and told your stuff we'll go prove them wrong but let's be honest like it's not the same energy yeah it wasn't the same energy yeah and you probably still should have won but i don't even think most clemson fans were just like shit it's not invited tournament come on

no offense to nit yeah but it was just like it's just like for the for what we thought we were gonna get and then what actually happened was crazy so what's it been like leaving clemson now playing pro ball in Lithuania? Talk to me about that process and the transition. So obviously it's a night and day difference in terms of just like the culture and everything. Obviously, I'm out here. I can't understand anything they're saying. So I just had to Google translate a good bit. But other than that, like the people are really nice and welcoming.

The city that I'm in in Lithuania is called Kodaini. So it's about the same size as Clemsonon so it's not like it's really that big in terms of size difference but yeah it's been great out here obviously i got to get adjusted to the food there's no bojangles there's no mcdonald's no weenie's they got the mcdonald's but it's an hour away but i'm a fast food guy i really love and miss my fast food but other than that i feel like it's been a at the end of the, we're just playing basketball with a whole bunch of guys. Obviously still got the same type of vibe in the locker room.

I'm a professional now. It's a little bit more on the line in terms of the league that we're playing in. I'm in the top league in Lithuania. It's the same exact league like LaMelo Ball and all them played in

whenever they spend their time in Lithuania. So it's a well-respected league. So I'm excited to be here for my rookie season. And that's a great platform for me to be able to level up quick too. So hopefully if i have a good rookie year by year

three or four i'll be able to be making a lot of money doing this so i'm happy and excited for the future yeah there's a lot of money over there right i talked to people a lot of people know the nba they know i guess the c league i don't know but there's a lot of fans and support for basketball overseas oh yeah, yeah, definitely. Especially it depends on what country you land in. But, like, Serbia is crazy. Basketball is really crazy. I'm trying to think where else.

Like, leagues in Spain, the EuroLeague. Like, there's really high-level basketball over here. And there's a lot of NBA guys coming over here playing, too, obviously once they get later on in their careers. So, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of big names and money to be made over here, overseas basketball for sure. When does your season start? So our season starts, yes. That's a great question, too and money to be made over here, overseas basketball for sure. When does your season start? Our season starts, yes.

That's a great question, too, because it's way different. Our season starts early. It starts September 10th, I believe. We've got less than three weeks before we get started up. Typically, college basketball don't start until November. It's a quick little start, but I like it, though, because obviously we get into games faster. How's your game these days?

Are you still searching it? Hey, man obviously we get in the games faster. How's your game these days? Are you still searching it? Hey, man, it's going to be beautiful. I can't wait for y'all to see the highlights, man. It's going to be a good year for me for sure. I'll leave it at that for now. But, yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited. You're playing point guard, though, right?

Yeah, I'm playing point guard. I'm playing point guard. Okay. All right. How's your squad overall? We're actually going to be a lot better than what I thought, because obviously you never really know until you get on the court with everybody and get a feel for everybody.

But the last two weeks have very impressed me. So I'm excited. I'm excited. I think we'll be able to make some noise in our little Lithuanian league and hopefully qualify for the FIBA Cup. We have that coming up in the next month, I think. So, yeah, there's a lot of basketball coming up. So we're excited. Yeah. Some of the best players in the NBA right now from overseas.

The Joker. I mean, he's won the MVP. And, like, you got freaking, I don't know, every big name, every other big name is from overseas these days. Exactly. So basketball competition is high over there. And I'm sure you're feeling that or seeing it like the skill. Oh, yeah, definitely.

Because that's the biggest thing is like, obviously, the NBA would be lovely to play in. But at the same time, like, I want to make sure that I'm able to play and not because obviously I could have fought for an NBA spot or this and that. But would I have played? Probably not. And I want to make sure that I'm able to play and actually enjoy my career while I can. Because that's what's really matters. And like you said, like the competition and respect over here is big. It's not like you're just playing against 40-year-old men.

Like, no, you're playing against some elite guys. Yeah. Brevin, where is it all headed, man? If you've got your crystal ball and we all got to write our own story, we know you're going to be putting the effort in. We know you've got the game. Obviously, if shit happens that you can't control. Right.

But what's next five or ten years? Just live that pro basketball dream and go as far as you can? Like, where are you going to go with your career and everything? Definitely. I definitely want to play the, like, top-level ball over in Europe if possible. I want to play in the EuroLeague. I kind of want to be known as a Dominic R overseas. That's just what I envision for myself. I want to be an international celebrityLeague. I kind of want to be known as a dominant guard overseas. That's just what I envision for myself.

I want to be an international celebrity as well with the social media life and TikTok and do all that type of stuff because I love content and I love being. I feel like that's another half of me that I have to be able to do in order for me to be fully happy. So, yeah, so I just want to be on top of the basketball stuff, be on top of this content creator stuff. I want to be known for overseas basketball because I feel like there's not a lot of content creators that are doing overseas basketball content. So the last few videos I've made these past couple of weeks did well numbers on social media.

So I'm excited to start that journey as well in terms of that. So yeah, I'm excited for everything. Hey man, that's the modern player, man. You got the game on and off the court, the social media game and the game. So that's a winning combination. Speaking of those social on and off the court, the social media game and the game.
