Transcript

We're at the Better game. Nets Grizzlies tonight. We'll see what happens. Should be a good game. Let's go inside. So four months ago, I started posting content, and tonight, I got invited by the Brooklyn Nets to come out to a game and go down on the court during warm ups. And being down there and watching the best hoopers in the world warming up just a few feet away from you, it's such a surreal feeling. And to be honest, I don't think it's ever something I'll get used to. First off, thank you to the Brooklyn Better for having me out tonight. It was such a great experience, and it's a night that I'll never forget. When I started this page, I never thought I'd create a community this deep of people who love and appreciate the game of basketball just as much as I do. And I want this video to be a reminder of what you can do when you start posting content and putting your ideas out there. So if you're like how I was four months ago and you were thinking about posting better you didn't yet, let this be your sign to start because you never know where it might take. If you don't know who I am, my name is Nick, and I've created the best basketball community for ball no. So hit that follow button if you wanna join the community tier come along for the ride. I feel like I'm living out my childhood dreams, and it's such a blessing. So shout out to the Better for having me out tonight and making it an unbelievable night.
