At the beginning of the last two regular seasons, people betting the NBA spread felt that the Blazers could be a real dark horse in the postseason. As we are halfway through the 2010-11 season, those same fans are wondering whether the Blazers will ever [...]

Kurt, over at the Vertical Explosion Program has allowed me to share his special report of how to jump high like that! I’m sure you can jump, as most ballers, but wouldn’t you like to just leap over everyone? Sometimes people say its talent or a special gift, but the truth is – you can work toward a higher leap.

In the past before excepting basketball jobs overseas I would try my best to make contact of former players from the team that is interested in me. Why? Every contract on surface sounds nice and dandy but sometimes their could be issues with the club or timing of payments.

I always stress the importance of having a video for self-promotion and getting your name out there. Without video, how can any professional team trust that you can do the job? Recently, I received an email from a member of the Basketball Overseas Newsletter that included his highlight film. Once I opened the Youtube video, everything just stood out. The quality, the videos and how it is composed.
