I'm in Sports Illustrated!


In this week's issue of Sports Illustrated (June 1 issue), there is a super cool article written by Michael McKnight called the Dunk Project. The story is about Michael chasing his dunking dreams at age 42.

About 6 months ago, Michael came across my blog and reached out to me to ask some questions and get some of my advice since we are about the same age and shared a common goal. We traded some emails and phone calls since then and I've had a front row seat to watch his amazing progress during the last several months.

Michael mentions me in the article which was a great honor! My dream of being in the pages of Sports Illustrated finally came true! Just 25 years late! :)

You got to check it out! Head to your local store and pick up a copy of the June 1 issue of SI.

You can also see the online version here including some very cool videos.

If you're reading this Michael, thanks again!

  1. Great article! I hope this article motivates a lot of us older guys...especially since it took the author about a year to be able to dunk a basketball.
    At 6'1", 220 pounds, and 40 years of age, I just dunked a basketball twice last week on a 9'11" rim. I was playing with a bunch of kids in their early 20's and watching them dunk the ball motivated me to really give it a try.
