When listening to Eugene “Pooh” Jeter speak, it’s easy to tell why he’s a natural fit as a basketball coach and mentor.
In the opening seconds of Season Two, Episode Three of the docuseries, “The Break, presented by The General,” which chronicles life in the NBA G League, Jeter passionately discusses his life mission to share his experiences and help others. After a long career of playing professional basketball, Jeter is now using that experience to help others in his new dual role as player development coach for the Portland Trail Blazers and assistant general manager of Portland’s G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix.
