Your favorite HoopSeen memory: The 2019 Best of the South at the Georgia World Congress Center. The amount of people that had a hand in this event is astounding. Laying down courts in the days leading up to the event and looking over to see Tai, JY, Mike and many others pouring sweat & working so hard was a special moment I'll never forget.

Your favorite HoopSeen player and why: Has to be Zion Williamson. Saw him as a Sophomore when I worked at Suwanee Sports Academy and will never forget a dunk he had where I thought the goal was going to come down. Then to see him again as a Senior at Best of the South brought it full circle and made me realize how special what we do is.
