Working towards a career in the NBA is a strenuous task to say the least. Years and years are spent in the gym, the weight room and the film room chasing a goal that for many doesn’t end up paying off.
For Willie Reed, this past season was an opportunity to get a taste of what he had been working for his entire life. While he’s still putting countless hours in to securing a permanent NBA home, he’s putting aside some time to give back to the community that has supported him to this point.
Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri, Reed had a natural attraction to the game of basketball.
