What if I told you that there would be a day when NBA 2k18 e-sports players would not only be drafted by the NBA (e-sports division) but they would make almost 10k more a year than the G league players who suited up every week to play on the court. What if I told you that there would come a day when video gamers would get signed for more money that 5 star athletes. You would probably say that I was crazy. However, that is exactly what happened this week. In this episode we talk about the first NBA e-sports draft and the effects that it will have on the world of physical sports. We also talk about a parenting fail that I experienced this week. Moses didn't want me to talk about it, but I know that my failure can help some other parent out there. So we talked about it for a little while at the end of this podcast. Take a listen to this episode!

We will also help those who dream, but have no idea how to move towards their basketball dreams. Figuring it out alone is a pretty daunting task. I was in your shoes. My son Moses and I invite you to learn from our wins and our losses. We hope it will help someone else in their journey toward their dreams. In this podcast, we will cover everything about youth basketball - from what to look for when joining a team, to college recruiting, to social media, and even how to develop the mental toughness that will allow your young athlete to soar in games. "There I was with this kid who wanted to follow his dream of playing pro basketball and, as a non-basketball parent, I had no idea how to make it happen. When I asked others, I constantly heard things like - 'You just have to be good and people will find you.' I knew that waiting for the phone to ring couldn't be the key to success. So I started digging and I found out that, like every career, there is an actual path that you MUST take to even have a chance. I am excited to share my findings with you. Let's work together to make this happen for our little and not-so-little ballers!" - Troy Horne See you inside episode 50! Troy and Moses Horne hoopchalk.com
