In this Boardroom original we follow Team Durant’s 17U squad on their quest to win the 2022 Peach Jam championship, and talk with top college recruits Kwame “KJ” Evans, Amani Hansberry, and Jahnathan LaMothe about what it means to play and compete in the EYBL. We also hear from Nike’s head of EYBL, Jamal James, about the growth of grassroots basketball, and how EYBL basketball is changing the lives of the best high school basketball players in the nation.
