Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 I'm not just an athlete — I'm a content engine with a loyal audience that actually engages. My average Reel views (14K) and TikTok views (10K) consistently outperform my follower count, which means every brand integration reaches further than the numbers suggest. I compete at the highest level of independent basketball — OBL, Hoop Dreams, On The Dot — while building a lifestyle brand rooted in faith, fashion, and authenticity. But what the numbers don't show is who's watching. The 1v1 basketball space is one of the fastest growing youth sports audiences online. Kids aren't just watching the NBA anymore — they're watching players like me. Athletes they can actually access, follow, and look up to. That direct connection to a younger demographic is something traditional sports sponsorships can't replicate at this price point. My audience isn't passive. They follow the journey, not just the highlights. And when a young fan sees their favorite 1v1 player rocking your brand, training in your gear, or fueling up with your product — that's not an ad. That's influence. I don't just wear brands. I tell stories with them. Every partnership I take on gets treated like it's my own brand — because my reputation is attached to it too. Faith-driven, community-rooted, and built for longevity — I'm the kind of athlete brands grow with, not just borrow for a post.
