Flashing back a couple decades to the infamous “And1 Mixtape” Tour that featured household names we grew up watching bring basketball into our homes every week, we are sitting down with Grayson Boucher, known as The Professor, for a special Friday drop.
Ryan, Channing and Fred talk to The Professor about how a young boy from Oregon ended up on the most popular basketball tour of the early 2000s. He explains how he went from community college to playing JUCO levels and by chance attended a tryout that forever changed his life.
Sharing details about the journey of being on the And1 and Mixtape basketball tours, Grayson talks about the success but also the pitfalls of the having fame and money overnight. Adapting to changing times, he turned his street ball skills and fame into a UA-cam sensation amassing over 7M subscribers for his channel.
Tap in for a conversation of nostalgia and fun stories this Friday afternoon! - Спорт
Gotta love The Professor for not only being sick with the handle on the court but for having the vision to build a strong brand through social media as And1 started to die out. Mad props and salute to the Pivot!!!
this the biggest thing he actually set himself for stardom and alot of the other guys cld have had more money and presence had they been directed or advised the company and their circle failed them

Pivot is HITTING!!! Got some dope guests man!
The mixtape tour was such an epic part of my childhood. Loved hearing from Professor & reminiscing about all the big names, & he's such a decent & humble dude 👏
I have watched it easily 30 times.
Not only was he a big icon for a lot of kids. He’s still a good person, stays out of trouble. Shows how hard work pays off. And still works hard on his game. And always taking it up another notch.
Hell yeah professor deserves his due freaky fred gonna give it to him
Pause
⏸️🤣🤣
😂
Nigga Huh ?!?!
I get what you're saying but it sounds kinda spicy..lol shoutout to Fred and professor
Professor's is so humble, that's why he's so loved and respected in the community.
So dope to see the professor on here. Still watch his content to this day and he is an awesome dude!
This show literally gets better every show. Keep it up guys
Facts
Best takeaway: "It showed me that dedication, you can change a lot in a few months" - The Professor 2023.
I grew up watching And I still have the DVD of the 2003 tour when Fess won the contract he's done well for himself post And1.
Real streetball legend. Been watching him since I was a kid tryna do his moves 🔥🔥🔥
The Professor is a great story teller. Great episode.
The professor was a big part of my childhood. He inspired me to get all the And 1 kicks
Those kicks were horrendous but those mixtapes were phenomenal!!
ESCALADE hot sauce skip to my lou AO halfman half amazing Mainevent! Bro shits crazyyyyy
Same! I have never been a huge basketball fan. Can’t really stand the NBA. I watch the playoffs and highlights of the players I do like. But… I LOVED AND1. Used to watch it every day, have followed the professor since he had like 5k subs and of course, had like 10-15 pairs of AND1 shoes. A lot of people hated them. But those were some of the most comfortable shoes to wear to the park. I got into gymnastics and then parkour and those AND1’s were my go to shoe!
24:42-- The professor has a good heart and good spirit! Personification of peace
The legend...The Professor!!! My high school days were deep on And1 mixtapes!!!
Same here G.
Thhhheeee prrooooofesssssooorr
Man i was playing as this dude on the and 1 game on the ps2. Then buying all the and 1 mixtaped on dvd and binge watching them.Thats a crazy throwback now this dude is still finding ways to be successful in what he loves.
Mad Respect to "The Professor" if just be you do what you love was a person it would be him. The epitome of "just hoop". Dude is a 🐐 on the black top. Created his own lane! 🙏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Been a fan of this guy for over 15 years, can't believe its been that long since i seen this guy first play.
The Professor!!! This is epic! 🙌🏽 Pivot is winning on all levels!
This is one of the few shows that i never skip through the intro music... the shit is fire!!
Fr bro it never gets old
For real. It's a shame the rest of the song outside of this clip is kind of buns
"Got my people feelin militant" that line is so hard if you deeply know what it means
On god that shit catchy as hell and the beat hard
Helluva interview fellas. I've always wondered why the and 1 dudes never got a real shot at the league and this interview answered a few of the questions. I like the fact that the professor didn't gloss over his struggles getting into college I think that's the reality for a lot of athletes and then it comes down to how bad do you want it.
You guys do a great job of being prepared to ask great questions. So many interviewers are not prepared for interviews
Street ball legend !!!!
The professor is a real one! Big fan bro!
This is dope. Bring back so many childhood memories. It’ll be cool if y’all can get a bunch of the and 1 dudes and have like a mini series of interviews on them
Wonderful interview. Solid young man😇🥰
I'm a huge football fan. But I love when you guys bring in these basketball players.
Pivot is my favorite pod selfishly I want y’all to increase the amount of episodes in a week but definitely don’t burn yourselves out and keep giving us the quality. Y’all are amazing everyone involved
I love this guy...straight cool dude.
Great episode as always fellas, much love. I know it hurt Channing to not get into his usual line of questions but I think the Snoop ep held him over lol
Dope interview with the Professor. The Pivot has done it again with another solid interview. Keep bringing it.💯💪🏾
Bro I love this podcast! The guests y’all bring on!!🙌🏽
One of my childhood inspirations in basketball growing up back in the days! NOSTALGIC and legendary salute The Professor
Such a BIGGER fan of Professor after this interview. Legend!!
Professor deserves this thank you pivot
The Professor!! Dude is a beast!!
Give him his flowers this man cross overs are crazy
I remember watching The Professor for the first time going against Hot Sauce, those def were the good oh days.
The Angola story is 100% TRUE! I'm the teammate that got sick and he passed on the way in the hospital! Same guy that gave him his first highlight when he got on the bus! My guy Grayson🤞🏾
Seeing the Professor is bitter sweet for me. I’m happy that he found success through social media, but it also reminds me of the And 1 legends that didn’t make it. Wish all those old school ballers were living well!
Glad to see The Professor getting his flowers 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Looking forward to this one.
The Professor is one the baddest street ballers and has a great story 🎉🎉🎉😮😮
Instant classic. Aint even watch the whole video yet.
I watched the professor live dislocate a dudes shoulder with a cross over in Laguna beach Ca , years ago.
lol
I remember that 😂 bro was talking mad trash just to hurt himself
The professor was my childhood crazy to see him here!!!
I loved And1. The professor is great. Another great episode❤
If you gonna get the Professor on here to talk Streetball Legends then they gotta get Rafer "Skip to My Lou" Alston on the show. I'm just saying‼️
and Phillip Champion.
And hot sauce
Prolly depends on schedules, who’s available!!
And 1 was a whole movement....crazy. Nostalgic episode for us older heads, fo sho.
This is 🔥🔥🔥. Love The Professor
One of the many inteviews where I thoroughly enjoyed. Professor really dove deep and told a lot of untold stories. He also looked excited to tell his story. GREAT INTERVIEW.
Yall continue to Pivot with these different people y'all bring on 💯💯💯
I literally can’t miss an episode. I just be scrolling and then I be like they got Who! On here🔥
What a dope interview. I love this Podcast, Thank You Guys.

And 1/ Streetball legend. Anytime I see a video with him it immediately takes me back to when I was 8
Thank you for sharing Professor 💜🎉🎉🎉....mad. respect!!! GOD Bless You🙏🏾💜
My favorite And1 player❤❤❤Love
I tried out for And1 a few times. 1 time in Chicago the Other in Detroit. I was decent back then and can confirm that The Professor is the real deal. Black Widow and AO had NBA skill and it was easy to see.
Awesome pod like always fellas! The professer! was so unexpected, so glad to hear this mans story!
Professor that dude. Was out there his rookie year looking like Kalvin Cambridge.
This dope interview y’all need get hot sauce interview now✊🏿👍🏿😎💯🐐
I been on The Professor since And 1. He is a "short" white kid that was locking folks up left and right lol He was one of my biggest sports idols growing up for sure. Great interview!
AO is a good one to talk to. Thank you Pivot!
Some of my And1 favs…
Hot Sauce
Bone Collector
5-0
Pharmacist
Sik Wit it
Air up there
Skip to my Lou
Escalade? Rip
Definitely escalade
Dope interview 🔥🔥🔥🔥
So hype that you guys had the Professor on. I mean legend for me and my generation easily. What humble and awesome dide
I knew Chan was gonna say something about that haircut.🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Another amazing episode. You guys never disappoint. Can we please get Pat McAfee on the show. Ryan and Pat are both ESPN employees so let's make that happen, PLEASE.
Nah
id like to see that 100%
No stank you
Give y’all one white boy now y’all want the whole crew
Someone always has to bring up race smh!!! Has nothing to do with a white boy. Multiple times on social media I've mentioned Pat would make a great guest! Now that he's associated with ESPN it would make it a lot easier to be able to come about.
I know him played with him chilled with him at his crib when I first moved to Oregon bruh really is Kool and down to earth In real life
the professor is financially the most successful of all the And1 ball players. He's making millions from his youtube channels alone not to mention his sponsors and merchandise. mad respect for his hustle.
Please get Professor a movie deal to be Teen Wolf. It would be a super cool movie, nostalgia at its finest.
FRED TOENAILS IN THIS JOINT..... MAD RESPECT BY THE WAY
Ryan appreciate you for representing Austin with that hoodie..
Hot sauce and bone collector needs to on here too
Why is the Pivot Podcast not over 1 million by now.... Come on folks if you're not subscribed hit that button
Professor just added about 1 million subscribers to this podcast, they should be thankful. They should’ve made this interview longer.
Y’all got the professor on here ??? Y’all killin it man love to see it
Love this for Professor. He really deserves it.
the professor is dope...💯
Man, God is so good!! Thank God for grace & mercy!!
Good shit!!!! Grayson is a stand up dude!!!
Great episode….you have to have J. Williams(AKA WHITE CHOCOLATE) on the show.
Just watched him be interviewed on All The Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. Great interview and you’re right would be good to have him here too.
Super duper X crossover 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Aye man as a huge fan of the podcast, every episode has got to be at least an hr long. We can’t take the short episodes lol
Madd Respect for "the Professor" ....Let's go!
respect for having White Chocolate 🍫 2 on the pod
Love this guy, so excited for this episode
Awesome interview! Keep it up!
The Professor is a professor🙏👍👏God bless you brother and this show.
One of the greatest And 1 street ball thang damn professor
Great interview guys! Love the professor, great dude!
Dope interview fellas
And 1 Streetball on PS2 were great times 🔥
Dope interview ! I didn’t want this one to end
I know we can all find time and aren’t truly that busy but, celebs are generally more busy than us. It’s gotta be dope hearing countless celebs say they’ve taken time out of their lives to binge The Pivot.
Tyson Fury (well, they had Wilder), Terrance Crawford (well, they had Spence), Gillie the Kid (well, they had Wallo) are some people I'd love to see on the show. The vibe is always right, they listen to their guest without interrupting them, they bring out the best in their guest's personality, ask meaningful questions, and they bring the right type of energy and laughter to go along with it.
The king of traveling and carrying that he call ball handling. Now a generation don't know how to dribble without carrying
Lol stop hating bro
Don't hate the playa'! Hate the game!
Duuude you got the professor on?!?!? I love you guys so much
You should get iverson on the show
Big ups to you Professor and the Pivot podcast cast.
