T.J. Leaf is a skilled pro basketball forward with elite international experience, including Maccabi Tel Aviv, UCLA pedigree, and a strong on-court highlight reel. His authentic social presence blends high-level competition, faith, and family life, making him a credible fit for brands looking to connect with basketball fans and lifestyle audiences alike.
After leading UCLA in scoring, TJ Leaf was selected in the first round by the Indiana Pacers in 2017. He commands attention on the court, combing the passing touch of a guard and the sharp-shooting skills of a wing all in a big man's body. Leaf's laid-back personality, a product of growing up near the beach, makes him a favorite in the locker room and among the fans. In his downtime, you can find him out on the golf course, with a fishing pole in his hands, or volunteering alongside his parents and his five brothers and sisters. Born in Tel Aviv, Israel. His father Brad, was also drafted by the Indiana Pacers in 1982.

Genisys Credit Union, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, has done something most brands never do with athlete sponsorship: it kept renewing. What started as a single partnership with Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has become a multi-year, two-athlete program that Genisys has renewed and expanded every season since 2024, adding Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in 2025 and renewing him again in 2026.
