Don't let people mispronounce your name.

After decades as an administrative professional, Mrs. Sharon Henry Stephens is stepping into a lifelong dream—becoming a special education teacher. 💛 Proof that purpose is never bound by time. A true golden lady… and just getting started. ✨

I’ve watched a ton of first session games across Nike EYBL, Adidas 3SSB, and Under Armour UAA. Here’s my honest takeaway: Nike EYBL has the most talented and most skilled players, no debate. But there’s also a lot of low IQ basketball at times. Felt like I was watching the Houston Rockets every game. A lot of talent, a lot of chaos. Adidas 3SSB has the best pure basketball product. High IQ plays, strong structure, and real offense being run. It looks the most like college basketball. Under Armour UAA feels like a mix of both, but those kids play the hardest. There’s a real earned-not-given edge to that circuit. Tough, hungry players that compete like they’ve been overlooked their whole lives. Nike has pros. (They also have the best shoes) Adidas has the best watch for a basketball junkie. UAA has that chip-on-the-shoulder feel.
