They say good things come to those who wait well
that statement could not ring any truer for basketball lifer Dre Baldwin.
Before I get into the whole point of this post let me give you some background
on Dre Baldwin.
- · Played Professional basketball overseas in Germany, Lithuania, Montenegro and Mexico.
- · Played college ball at division III PSU-Altoona
- · Has released over 3,000+ Basketball related Youtube Videos
Why is this info relevant you may ask, well I’ll
tell you why. We all as humans have a strong inclination to make excuses or
attribute our own personal failures to something else outside of ourselves. Dre
Baldwin is a guy who himself wasn’t recruited out of high school to play
college basketball. He will tell you himself that his game is very limited as
far as god given talent and the rest was persistence and hard work putting
hours in the gym.
Dre Baldwin has become an authority for young up and
coming basketball players to gain insight into what it takes physically,
mentally and beyond to play basketball at a high level. People like myself who
are on the come up use a plethora of his YouTube videos by him to better
ourselves on and off the court.
The best part about Dre Baldwin though is that you
don’t need to be a basketball player or even like basketball to appreciate what
it is that he's doing. On his Youtube channel he has a segment called “Weekly
Motivation” where he basically covers a general idea that translates beyond the
hardwood and into other arenas of life. To see what I’m talking about click on
the video below.
So Dre established his own lane and thousands upon
millions of people in the basketball world have grown to love him. So now the
hardwork Baldwin has been putting in has come full circle as he was selected 2nd
overall to Kevin Durant’s team for the Nike “Summer Is Serious” basketball pick
up game taking place in Brooklyn ,New York. The game features 2 teams both hand
picked by NBA stars James Harden and Kevin Durant. Baldwin was the 2nd
player selected to Durant’s team.
With all of that said good luck to Dre Baldwin and
good luck to him in Brooklyn on August 16th. Make sure you check him
out on Youtube and of course Dreallday.com

ReplyDeleteYeah man he does. I have had the privilege to pick his brain about basketball on a few occasions, he gave me some great insight.
