#169 - TURN Sports: A discussion with Battle League Pro-Am Director and Co-Founder Mubarak Suleiman!
“We are gathering support from the community as well… the community basketball scene involving EYBA, Good Hoops… we’re giving them a reason to push and improve the basketball scene in the city as a whole… hopefully everyone can see the benefit of the league as this is the time to take the risk,” - Mubarak Suleiman
Mubarak Suleiman is the visionary co-founder and Director of Battle League Pro-Am. Born in Nigeria and now making waves in Canada since 2016, Mubarak’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. A graduate of the Respiratory Therapy program at NAIT, his true passion lies in entrepreneurship. In just three years, Mubarak’s innovative and brand-building expertise has attracted high-level talent from the NBA, the Euroleague, and celebrity athletes to Battle League Pro-Am, and his efforts have garnered significant partnerships with Fortune 500 companies like Nike Inc. Mubarak joins TURN Sports host Navin Ramharak to discuss what the Battle League Pro-Am is, the All-Star Weekend event that will be happening, the stars and celebrity attending the event, NBA playoff thoughts, and much more in this episode.
At the beginning of their discussion, Navin and Mubarak chat about what’s going on in his life currently (1:57), a breakdown of what Battle League Pro-Am is (2:47), how much of a focus goes into content creation in regards to Battle League Pro-Am (4:30), what’s on the horizon for Battle League Pro-Am this year (7:24), the significance of the All-Star Weekend event to the city of Edmonton (9:47), and partners involved in the event (12:10).
