SMWW Alumni Working in the NBA Playoffs
Everyone who works in the NBA dreams of working for their team during the NBA Playoffs. Two SMWW Basketball GM & Scouting graduates have done just that. Brian Adams is the Scouting Video Coordinator for the Boston Celtics and John Ross is the Assistant Video Coordinator for the Portland Trail Blazers. Both worked tirelessly throughout the season to help their teams make it to the NBA Playoffs. 

Watch what John Ross has to say about his experience in the Basketball GM & Scouting Course:

Brian Adams on the Basketball GM & Scouting Course:

"The Basketball GM and Scouting course was a huge help in me getting started at the Boston Celtics. I had several interviews, and in each case, after my resume was reviewed I was asked to discuss my training through the Basketball GM & Scouting Course. I believe the Celtics knew I was serious when they saw I had taken this course on my own, outside of my regular college courses. The course showed me ways to view the game from different levels beyond a fan's perspective. Each week during the chats, I spoke with influential members of the basketball world, and these conversations taught me how to handle myself in an NBA environment."
