Courtside Takeover

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006 by BDL SQUAD

The crew is taking over this section of the site for a minute. It’s a team meeting and you’re all invited.

Here is the reset: Things are moving fast on the film. Investors are gathering and checking our paperwork (a good sign that they intend to get more serious). Big name actors are telling us they want in. Potential marketing partners we picked months ago are returning phone calls and setting meetings.

So this team meeting is for Fess. Young Grayson, you’ve been hearing us talk about this project for too long. You have been waiting to know when it is going to be for real. You’ve been telling your people. It’s been in plenty of pub. Fess is going to be in a movie. And maybe, you have had your doubts that we would ever deliver on all of this. Time to place your bets bro.
The script is your play book and this is going to be a short preseason. Put a big fat chip on your shoulder for every movie exec who told us we should cast an actor in the role of Sticky. Then show up on the first day of shooting and make us all look genius.
We’ve wanted you for this role from the jump. And when we think about how hard you work on your game and the tour, we know we’re dealing with one of us. On tour, you never miss team meetings. You always sign the autographs. You never miss the bus. It’s your job and you’re a pro. You can teach yourself a new move in a day. Cause you work at it until it is perfect. Then you bring it to the stage. This challenge is no different. You can prepare. You can be as ready as possible.

Sitting here today, we can’t tell you the start date. But know this. It is coming. And soon. You can decide how to spend what little free time you have between now and “Action!”. You are your own man. You can dog it and doubt it and you can wait for the paper. Or you can do like we all been doing on this crew and bust ass now because now is when the work is easy. Now is when putting in the time pays off.

Know your lines cold. So they come out of your mouth like it’s Sticky in the moment. Own the role. Be Sticky.

Sweat now so you will shine in the clutch.

One Love,

Your brothers on the crew

DINE PIECE: THE PROFESSOR
by Aron Glatzer

Y’all know Grayson Boucher as “The Professor” from the And 1 Mixtape Tour, the white-chocolate baller dropping the jaws of fans and breaking the ankles of opponents with flair and plenty of panache. Y’all know what he can do on the court, as the kid with handles galore, he has collected more dimes than a laundromat and has made a name for himself all over the world since the tour went global for the “Asia-Pacific Mixtape” in 2005. However, when the tour is not in session, Boucher spends his time in his hometown of Keizer, OR, where he resides ten blocks away from his parents from January ’til the beginning of June.

Can prestige and fame come from just showing up or do you actually have to put work into this game?
