We’ve all had the same dream. If you, like me, grew up in a suburb as a big basketball guy, you had a hoop in your driveway. Even if you grew up in a city and didn’t have a basketball hoop in your driveway, you still likely had the same thing happen to you when you were shooting around on your own as a kid.
