"The lesson with Adrian was quite helpful and amazing. My daughter appreciated how he broke down key basketball techniques without rushing through. Though she still needs to work on her dribbling, his expert guidance gave her some solid ideas to practice on her own. Still, I’m hopeful that future lessons will build on this initial progress. If you’re looking to improve gradually and get focused feedback, Adrian’s lessons are definitely worth a shot. He is natural coach, which that type of talent is very hard to find!!!

For fifty years, I've had the privilege of sharing my love of basketball with players of all levels. My coaching philosophy centers on building fundamental skills while fostering a passion for the game that lasts a lifetime. I've played at all levels in basketball starting on the playground, getting cut from my freshman team to starting and leading my high school team to the state tournament. I was recruited by and eventually signed to go to Rutgers University where AI started all four years. From there I was drafted to the Cleveland Cavilers. I played 10 years in the NBA before having to retire from the game I love. After the NBA, I started working with the NBA Players Association where we started the Top 100 Basketball Camp which is hailed as the best camp in Basketball. We used our camp to elevate the game of a number of NBA Players starting with our first year where we had the late great Kobe Bryant. Over the next 30 we've had over 150 plus NBA Players attend the camp. Let's work together to elevate your game.
