Navigating NIL to Pro Basketball with Brevin Galloway

 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-climpsed tiger.
 I guess I'm always a climpsed tiger.
 Once you're a tiger, you're always a tiger.
 Just like my buddy, Brevin, Galloway, Pro, Lithuanian basketball player, and all-time
 climpsing great.
 I'm just going to put you on that list, Brevin.
 What's up, man?
 I like it.
 I like it.
 That's a crazy statement about love.
 No, man.
 Hey, a lot of wins, a lot of brackets.
 I saw a lot of points for you.
 Watch the screen a lot and follow your journey from afar.
 I'm glad we could get you on the show.
 Appreciate you coming on.
 I'm not a minister of honor, for sure.
 I love my time as a climpsed tiger, Boston college, and call the Charleston guy, which
 I mean, it was an crazy experience from me throughout the seven years of school, for
 sure.
 I know, right?
 You had a journey, man.
 You talk about, let's think about, put some miles on.
 You got Charleston, DeBalston, DeCloson, Iron, Dan Lithuania, and you got that friggin
 fireballs.
 Oh, yeah, man.
 It's crazy.
 I think about everything that I've been through.
 It's been fun on the list, 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 on, because
 it's been a while around for sure.
 I know.
 I look forward.
 I want to get into some of that.
 So where do you play high school, ball, man?
 Let's start your journey.
 Let's just tell everybody the ins and outs of Breven's basketball journey and maybe just
 your life journey, man.
 Let's go there.
 Yes.
 I'm originally from Anishin, South Carolina.
 I went to Teo, Hannah, for three years, and then I transferred to Cynica High School,
 which was near Clemson, about 15 minutes away from Clemson.
 So I played basketball and growing up my whole life was always what I love to do.
 My dad was a really big part of my life in terms of playing 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 hand me since a young kid, and then obviously I was able
 to grow into a good player, decent player, I'll have to say, and make a name for myself
 along those lines.
 Basketball has been nothing but great to me.
 It's been talking to me a lot of adversity.
 I've told me how to be a man, taught me how to grow up, and just become up, become
 something before it.
 Well, led you to Charleston.
 I mean, that is a recruiting thing who recruited you, who didn't, and 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 at the 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 a easy decision.
 I already knew where I wanted to go in my four years.
 I trusted him.
 My dad was really good friends with him growing up, and I think throughout their college,
 after college, they, that's whenever they met.
 So yeah, just, he already had a relationship with him and built, so it was pretty much
 just like a easy yes at that point.
 What's it like being your college Charleston playing D1 basketball?
 I heard there's some pretty good co-eds down at Charleston.
 How were you playing a big man at campus?
 That 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.
 Do you ever keep your head all in straight?
 I imagine you did that you ended up doing so well, but what was the college experience
 like?
 That's was wild, though, because obviously, people see my social media and they obviously
 get a glimpse of me through that lens, like, they don't, I'm not that type of person
 at all, like people think I'm just outgoing, bar hopper, party animal, and I'm not that
 way at all.
 I'll much rather chill in the career of watching the athletes, watch live islands, so
 that's why something like that, too hot to handle, something like that, me and my wife,
 we love those types of shows.
 That's what we would rather do.
 Like I maybe had probably went out three, four weekends of my college career and that's
 whenever we made that tournament run, and we made the NCAA tournament in Charleston
 that went season, but that was the most fun, just because obviously the city was just
 loving us at that time for years, so why not go out and experience that, but the nice
 that I did go out with my teammates and stuff for lots of fun, for sure, and obviously
 those are the nice and hour members for ever, but it wasn't that crazy, like people might
 think it might have been for real.
 Well, I always thought it's hard enough like some of the distractions when you're playing
 and the attention we get and all that, but like they'd go into a school that has so many
 things going on, like a city like Charleston and stuff.
 I mean, I guess it helps if you're naturally not attracted to it to stay away from it.
 Exactly, especially like you say, those Charleston is just presented stuff there.
 So I had to make sure the same in the career, the same focus, but at the same time, I did
 have my nights whenever I did go out and did a CD and explore things, but that was just
 me being an 18 year old, nice and you're okay at the time.
 We're just finally getting that thing out the house.
 That's a good man.
 Then we ventured to Boston College, talking to me about that, getting up there.
 That was probably definitely been a cultural change, I would think.
 It's just different at North.
 Yeah, Boston College, I think that's probably the place where I think I'm matured the most
 just from the position that I was in my life.
 Like I said, I just hit one of 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
 ketchup with everybody.
 And from that point on, it's what my whole career was in Boston College.
 Just trying to play ketchup with my peers, trying to make sure that I'm in shape,
 trying to make sure that I can be healthy again, because I should be 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,
 you know, TV and everybody thinks they know, maybe they think they know and understand
 what it's like to be a D one athlete, the 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 B.C.
 Or we'll get to Clemson, but just the ins and outs of that, the stuff that 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 sunshine.
 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.
 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 myself as moments at Boston College, just what I had to go through
 from a mental health standpoint, from dealing with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts,
 like people don't realize they were actually people too and we have feelings and we have
 needs that we need to attend to perform stuff on the court because that's all the world
 sees.
 The world just sees how many points we have, how many threes we miss and that's all the
 deems I get.
 I never get any supportive deems about checking in on you, how are you doing?
 Like when you're 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 in
 any kind of way.
 We can deal with the anything that pops up we're just supposed to be able to just deal
 with it and that we're not supposed to pretty much let it affect us and I feel that's
 probably the biggest thing that I learned throughout my college career was just like it's
 okay, not to be okay, it's okay to speak up about it and actually let the world know
 that you're not okay and you may get back last year, which I do get on my socials.
 But at the same time, the small percentage that I can't affect in the 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.
 The fans and us, we think of, okay, Boston College versus Duke and like you're playing
 the opponent and it's always, okay, 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
 it in the dynamic of competition within the team.
 Like you're going against a lot, you want to get the opponent in a given day or night,
 but every day you're, you've got yourself, your team, maybe that team, that freshman
 teammate that just came on that you like him, but he's vying 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 team is supposed to be your brothers within 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 going to 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 is the one you really want to put all your effort and energy into a fight for
 it.
 Yeah, those are just decisions that you have to make on daily basis stuff for real.
 How do you, I played basketball growing up.
 My kids played basketball and so I have, I know the game and I'll admit, like I think
 back to when I played, I was going to get my points like I want for the team too.
 I was a team guy, but so it's been it's an interesting dynamic, isn't 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 this is not bad.
 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'll play 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, let's try to shoot in a score, but I feel like I've adjusted
 to a wish because my personality is giving like 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 you want to see those double digits on you by your name.
 Hey, you want to be a post on your Instagram that you had 25 and I, 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 the Clemson.
 Yeah.
 Yeah.
 You come to Clemson's in desperate need of a shooter.
 You provide that and then some what was it like playing for Brad right 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 child injury.
 I'm on a play for Clemson's.
 I'm very thankful for that opportunity, but he allowed me to do so, especially considering
 the fact that I have so many injuries and setbacks, he could easily pick somebody else
 in the transfer portal from our conversations.
 He trusted me and believed in me in the vision that I have for the programs.
 So it was a great honor to play for him, especially since I went to all the kids, camp's
 growing up and he signed the back of my t-shirts and stuff like that.
 So it was a good way to be able to play for him and have him yell at me actually for a
 little bit or a couple of mistakes, but not a good experience nonetheless.
 You proved him right, because you dropped a buck.
 It's a lot of them.
 You were a breath of fresh air from the from three, especially, but you're overall game,
 and I watched you, man.
 You play.
 I know I always gave you our time, like Clemson grade, whatever.
 One year, it's probably not fair to ex Clemson guys who 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, I think it might make that list, right?
 Many didn't have the impact that you had in one year.
 I like that.
 Yeah.
 I like that.
 There's a lot right here.
 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 going to look back, I think, when you get to be my age
 because you're going to, you're in the times of all that in acting, you're going to be
 breathing it forward or 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, and I should be getting paid for not only, 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 realistic, just being realistic, I never thought we would get paid
 at the end of the day to begin with, so I never really crossed my mind in terms of, or
 I never had high hopes pretty much, I say, I never had high hopes 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 mindset should kind of shift it.
 And then obviously, when I started with my agent, it just took off from there in the last
 two years, it was crazy.
 And it's crazy to think about how my whole college career got extended and I was able to
 capitalize up to years of NIL, which was life changing.
 So yeah, man, I was having my last two years, even though I had to go through some injuries
 and said, but I ended up working out beautifully for me.
 If you know, a lot of executives, if you've listened to our show, we 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
 a breath 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 give them or the athlete?
 I think from a parents perspective, I guess don't force it on your kids in terms of trying
 to hope for because obviously like beginning in NIL deals, I hate to say it, but it's just
 not fair in terms of who gets them or who does it just because it all comes down to attention,
 social media, cloud 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 if that means that 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 going to end up
 just ruining y'all's relationship probably with your fortune and all somebody.
 That's what I would have said from the kid from the parents 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 of tick tocks, make a couple of 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 for their content, but like I said,
 those are so like few that you got to 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, right?
 Am I an actor?
 Or am I an athlete?
 They don't always come together, right?
 They've never done it and like, especially people in the comments and people on social media
 general, like they treat you like one or the other. So some comments, I'll be like, okay,
 yeah, people like some people, some people do miss the athletes, some people do me as a goofy
 content creator. So I have to live with that obviously because that's what the position
 to put myself in, but still in the end of the day, it's funny to think about like how really
 people treat you differently also based on how they view you.
 They do and like I 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, and that's the thing.
 I think around 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'm 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,
 like depression, my suicidal thoughts, mental health. That's whenever I was fighting for my
 life pretty much. So I would get on, I would always orderly like battling demons inside of me
 in my mental and then I would get on Twitter and then see all these other mean tweets about me.
 So I'm like, dang, I really have to remember social media is not real life and take a break from it.
 This is 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 a while I'm happy that I was able to face on that head on
 because it's made me tougher, mentally individual and stuff like that.
 What do you, what do you, just go back to, 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
 or 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 through my life. I always felt
 like I can take a bad situation to flip it into a good one. And one of my former teammates,
 Drill 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 time and my dark period because I was like, if I stop now, never going to see the light.
 So that was something that's always struggling me probably throughout that whole process.
 Yeah, at the end of the day, it's so internal. Like you can have extra things like help,
 but you have to decide for yourself, you know, that it's it's going to be all right and
 try to take it like building blocks like stack in the winds or stack in the positivity or whatever
 you got to do. 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 have to learn how you need to react to certain situations and how you need to respond.
 But I think the day like you 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 agent while you're still in college, right? Because
 that became legal because NILs there. So you got representation.
 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 this pretty much just responding with a whole bunch of nonsense.
 Like we're really leading into anything or anything like that. So then I think it was like I got
 with my agent. Once I started with Michael Raymond, man, it was like 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, like you 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 connects as in my agent who was obviously in
 the marketing field would have was like with 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 flew greatly 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 of their dollars and some that were
 trade or merchandise? 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 looks over the lines,
 so I was able to make my own graphics. So I got paid to promote their products and then I also
 got to have my little ones over the lines 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 shopgoal deal,
 Vanessa jewelry company. And I was able to, they obviously sent me free jewelry and then I made
 take talks and got paid for that in exchange. So those are two of my favorite deals that I probably
 did for the NIO space. Y'all've seen, you can't purchase and pay for both depending on which company
 and what the contract is. What's your like favorite memory at Clemson, like that year?
 I think I know of the audience don't know it. I don't know. I think I know where you're going
 but I mean, for me, it was definitely beaten Duke at home in a sold out crowd. That was crazy.
 Yeah, Cameron shaking her head too. He was there. That was because growing up,
 obviously, me being from Anderson, obviously going to a lot of Clemson, he was growing up,
 like seeing Little John packed like that. And then I was just like, wow, and I have to say
 half that I did and make the shots that I did. I was like, wow, man, that was so,
 that inner kid and me was so excited. I was like, yes, and we did it, we did it.
 Yeah, man, that was, you know, you hate it this way because like you love and hate Duke,
 like you respect Duke. You get tired of all of it, but then, but damn, it's nice beating them.
 That was like, like whenever I think about that day, I'm like, that's top three moment in the,
 my other top three moment was whenever we came back and these Clemson at Boston College,
 that was crazy too. I got some good moments in Little John.
 I know. On both sides.
 I think that's exactly Duke moment way better. That was crazy.
 It's got to be weird a little bit like, you love all the school. They gave you a chance to play,
 they gave scholarship. I'm sure you love all three schools, but is it a little weird sometimes,
 like, where your allegiance lies? Or is it like, that's the thing. I'm not really a school
 spirit kind of guy anyway. He's like, in terms of, I'm like, obviously, I'm going to still miss
 with me. I'm still going to miss with him because I'm an alumni and stuff like that. But in terms of,
 I don't have an allegiance towards one or the other, but my favorite spot was Charleston,
 by far. I'm just because I feel like that's where I spend most of my career there when that's
 what made me who I am today. Yeah, Boston College and Clemson will be a little one-year stop,
 so, but yeah, I feel like my home is destroyed. 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, you know,
 it's a blink and I like whenever they say there's fake that 10 months flies by like it's
 lies by like they're not kidding about that. I'm like, full 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 want to go. I can talk about that. I mean, talk about that. For everybody
 listening, the dead follow the March madness is the pinnacle for college basketball and the
 NCAA tournament and Clemson had one of the greatest years in AC basketball like record-wise
 for Clemson. Right. It was like 15 and five or 15 and six. Sorry. Yeah, and somehow we got left
 out of the tournament, but what was that like going through that process? Man, that was the
 everybody because we all gathered in little johns and 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 always as soon as they did
 that last 11 seed, we were hard-broken. I was like dang, like it's really happening. We're not
 going to make a tournament and then it was worth seeing in see state make it just because we
 beat them three times a year, three times in a year, all by like over 15, 16 points destroyed them,
 like 25, 20 and like 15 or something. It's crazy. Great. Hey, I tried to be positive and try to
 make the best of this situation, but then we lost some more. You can say, brevity'll be a nice guy,
 say what you mean. It was bullshit. Yeah, man, it was it was just so it lost like, because I always
 asked myself like for the next week, I was just like, how does that happen? How does that happen?
 But we tried to end the right way more as state, but then that season ended abruptly. Yeah.
 Yeah, I felt like that was a I don't know, but it's young guys. Yeah, man, I'm sure you got pumped
 up and told you stuff. We'll go prove them wrong, but let's be honest. It's like, it wasn't the same
 energy. Yeah. And he's probably still shit a one, but I don't even think most fans were just like,
 shit, it's not invited tournament. Come on. No, no fits in it. Yeah. It was just like for the
 for what we thought we were going to get. So what's it been like leaving Clemson now playing
 in Pro Bowl 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 have a
 you Google Translate a good bit, but other than that, like the people are really nice and welcome
 me. The city that I'm in in Lithuania is Caucasus. So it's about the same size as Clemson. So it's
 not like it's really that big in terms of a size difference, but it's been great out here.
 Obviously, I got to get adjusted to food. There's no bow jangles. There's no McDonald's.
 No wings. So they got them 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 the end of the day we're
 just playing basketball with a whole bunch of guys. Obviously, it's still got the same type of
 vibe in the locker room. But I'm a professional now. It's a little bit more in the line in terms
 of the league that we're playing in. I'm in the top league in Lithuania. It's the same exactly
 like Limella ball and all them played in whatever they spend their time in Lithuania. So
 well-respectedly. 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 they have a good rookie year.
 By year, it's three or four. I'll be able to make 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 talk to people,
 a lot of people know the NBA. They know, I guess, the sea league. I don't know. But there's a lot of
 fans and support for basketball overseas. Oh, 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 the leagues in Spain, the early, like there's really high level basketball over here.
 And there's a lot of NBA guys coming over here playing soon. Obviously, once they get
 later on in their careers. But so yeah, I mean, there's a lot of big names and money to be made
 over here overseas basketball for sure. When did your season start? So our season starts. Yes,
 that's a great question too, because it's a way different. Our season starts early. It starts
 like September 10th, I believe. So we got like less than three weeks before we started to open
 typically like college basketball. And it starts with an overhimpers. Yeah, it's really good.
 It's a quick little starter, but I like it though, because obviously we get in the games faster.
 How's your game these days? Are you still stretching it?
 Hey, they're going to be beautiful. I can't wait for you to see highlights. And it's going to be
 a good year for me for sure. I'll leave it back 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. I didn't get a feel for everybody, but the last
 two weeks have very impressed me. So I'm excited. I mean, I think we'll be open to make some
 noise in our little Lithuanian league and hopefully qualify for the FIFA Cup. We have that coming
 up in the next month, I think. So, so yes, a lot of basketball coming up. So we're excited.
 Yeah, that's one of the best players in the air right now from overseas. The jogger. I mean,
 he's one MVP and like you got freaking, I don't know, every big name on every other big name
 is from overseas these days. Exactly. So a basketball competition is high over there. And I'm sure
 you're feeling that or seeing it like the skill. Oh, yeah, definitely. That's the biggest thing. It's
 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 in because obviously I could have fought for NBA spot or just in that. But
 what I have played probably not I want to make sure that I'm able to play actually enjoy my career
 while I can because that's what's really matters. And like you said, like the composition and
 respect over here is big because it's not like you're just playing against 40 year old men,
 like now you're playing against some elite guys. Yeah,
 brethren, where is it all headed, man? What's if you got your your crystal ball and you and we
 all got to ride a road story. We know you can be putting the effort in. We know you got the game.
 Obviously shit happens that you can't control, but what's next five or 10 years to just live
 that that pro basketball dream goes far as you can. Like where you go with your career and everything.
 Definitely. So definitely want to definitely want to play the like top level ball over in
 Europe as if possible. I want to play in the year early. You 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 take time 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 it
 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 career stuff. I want to be known for overseas basketball because I don't
 I feel like there's a lot of content creators that are doing overseas basketball content. So
 the last few videos I've made these past couple weeks of 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 it's a winning combination. Speaking of those social media channels,
 Breven, work everybody. Watch the latest content. Yeah, so I think all my platforms are
 breving out of way. I think I'm breving out of way on every single platform because I don't want
 to I don't want to make sure that we limit the confusion. Yeah, and that's smart. Hey,
 as a marketing guy, you got to put together. Yeah, you don't need that Breven 2743
 Galloway number one. Like it sounds cool, but it gets confusing. It hurts your ass too.
