Alongside Jenkins, renowned coach David ‘Shot Doctor’ Jones was present. “I can’t wait to come to India and demonstrate this in person,” Jenkins said, during the two-hour long session that had questions constantly pouring in from grassroots coaches, NBA fans and players that included the captain of the Nepal men’s team.
From the importance of building relationships with players, steps taken by NBA teams towards safeguarding the mental health of its players to the ‘Great Debate’ of Michael Jordan vs LeBron James, Jenkins answered it all.
“It is going to be a unique opportunity. I am excited as long as it is safe,” Jenkins said, when asked about the possibility of the NBA 201920 season resuming in July. The webinar was co-hosted by Shivam Patel of Patel Pick and Roll Sports along with Vinod Muthukumar of Sportz Village Academies, in collaboration with Ekalavyas Consultancy.
