Sometimes the most impressive and admirable basketball journeys don’t have the fairy tale script of making it to the NBA. How about leaving your dream school that is nationally ranked for a Mid-Major to find your own way? Or moving country to country (4 in two months) to find the right basketball situation then eventually earning the title of a champion? His path in hoops may seem like a bumpy ride but to us it’s the ultimate success story of never giving up, swallowing your pride for happiness, taking control of your destiny and hey… champion is champion right?

Travis Reed was a standout player from the Los Angeles area during an incredible era of hoops. LA was a hotbed producing players like Paul Pierce, Baron Davis, Schea Cotton, Corey Benjamin, the Collins twins, Tobey Bailey, and many more. Reed chose to play for his dream school UCLA. Those UCLA teams included teammates such as Baron Davis, Matt Barnes, Earl Watson, Dan Gadzuric, Toby Bailey, JR Henderson, Jerome Moiso, and other big name players. After two seasons, Reed transferred to Long Beach State to make a name for himself. His success led him to a decorated career overseas that included a few league MVPs and being crowned a champion. 

It was a joy having Travis on the show with us. We are blessed that he shared his story because he has had such a unique career and we are thrilled for you all to learn about it. You will really get a better understanding of the what players go through transferring schools and playing ball overseas. Travis also has his own podcast called "Travis Reed-A Basketball Life”.
