What's up Everyone!! I know...I know... it has been a longtime since my last post! A lot has happened in my life over the past 12 months but nothing greater than the birth of my beautiful baby girl Kyndall! My wife and I have been extremely busy as the first year of our little girl's life seems to be racing by. I am very proud to say that as pretty as Kyndall is, her personality is just as wonderful!

Monica is a great "MOMMY"! She's was born to be a mother which is one of the reasons I married her (that and the fact that she decided to keep me around, lol).
This summer has been one of the busiest summers that I have ever experienced! I have been working on my charitable efforts through my foundation and I am hosting my first basketball camp in this area. "JJ Miller's ELITE HOOPS YOUTH BASKETBALL CAMP" This has kept me really busy with putting everything together, marketing, and advertising. I had a commercial done that I am gonna try to include with this blog so everyone can see. I have also been playing with and against some of the best players in the country in the Chavis League and NC Proam! N.C. is known for having some great basketball and this summer has not disappointed at all!
Speaking of basketball, things went good this season after a slow start. In October, I decided to join my former team in Belgium and it was an uphill battle from the start to help this team reach its full potential. Our team was compiled of some of the best guys you could ever meet. We worked together both on and off the court. This was a key factor in our ability to make the playoffs. Coming in to the season, I knew that this team had finished last the year before! I took it as a personal challenge to get this team back into the playoffs ( a position that we were in the last time I played for the club). I am very happy to say that after a lot of hard work, I was able to lead this team into the playoffs for yet another season! Achieving this personal goal was very gratifying and has compelled me to work even harder! I have committed myself to working harder than I have ever worked before! My goal is quite simple: TO BE THE BEST IN THE WORLD! (everybody included) I know that to many people that may sound ridiculous, but not to me! If the mind can conceive it, the man can achieve it! So I encourage you to follow my blog as I embark on my next journey to Exceed Expectations! I am going to give you an inside look at the successes, failures, and growth processes of a professional basketball player that is focused on being all that God wants him to be! I believe this is going to be an exciting year in my life!
Contract negotiations are under way as I type this blog and I am eager to see how this will play out. I understand that there are a lot of people that don't think that I am going to succeed. To those people I say "Thank You" because you are only adding fuel to the fire that burns in me to be the best! Fortunately for me, there's a whole lot of people who do want me to succeed! Thank You for your support! I know who you are and I am grateful to you all!
Well I have kept you guys long enough. Thanks for stopping by to check out my blog! To all my teammates from last season, I want to say "JOB WELL DONE!" As I leave you this week, I want to ask: How is your approach???? Are you striving to make the most of everything that you have been blessed with? Honestly, I believe that this is what it takes to truly "EXCEED EXPECTATIONS!" Have a great week!
