Next Level Basketball 419 Newsletter #31

NLB419 Newsletter  #31

Good morning, here are some good basketball articles I found this week.  The Steve Kerr article is really a good read that has been making the rounds, and Coach Boisvert’s coaching notes are fantastic.  2 really good basketball history articles about the 97 Knicks / Heat and the 77 Blazers.  Attached is also our weekly reminder about our Next Level Basketball Camp July 17th - 19th at Buckeye Central High School.  Open to any boy or girl in grades 4 - 12.  Thanks and have a great week.
