Final Quarter Feat. Devon Bell


Many young players emulate NBA players when balling on the floor. Sometimes it might because of size, ball handling, passing or leaping ability. When I ask players to compare their games to NBA players I usually get the same names like Kobe Bryant, Lebron James and Kevin Garnett but this was the first time I heard Tyshaun Prince. Devon Bell from Voorhees, NJ mentioned Prince and I could see that southpaws stick together. I caught up with Bell at the Gym Rat Midnight Madness and this is what he had to say… This is the Final Quarter!
