    Flashing back a couple decades to the infamous “And1 Mixtape” Tour that featured household names we grew up watching bring basketball into our homes every week, we are sitting down with Grayson Boucher, known as The Professor, for a special Friday drop.
    Ryan, Channing and Fred talk to The Professor about how a young boy from Oregon ended up on the most popular basketball tour of the early 2000s. He explains how he went from community college to playing JUCO levels and by chance attended a tryout that forever changed his life.
    Sharing details about the journey of being on the And1 and Mixtape basketball tours, Grayson talks about the success but also the pitfalls of the having fame and money overnight. Adapting to changing times, he turned his street ball skills and fame into a RUclips sensation amassing over 7M subscribers for his channel.
    Tap in for a conversation of nostalgia and fun stories this Friday afternoon!

    Gotta love The Professor for not only being sick with the handle on the court but for having the vision to build a strong brand through social media as And1 started to die out. Mad props and salute to the Pivot!!!

    The mixtape tour was such an epic part of my childhood. Loved hearing from Professor & reminiscing about all the big names, & he's such a decent & humble dude 👏

    Not only was he a big icon for a lot of kids. He’s still a good person, stays out of trouble. Shows how hard work pays off. And still works hard on his game. And always taking it up another notch.

      Same! I have never been a huge basketball fan. Can’t really stand the NBA. I watch the playoffs and highlights of the players I do like. But… I LOVED AND1. Used to watch it every day, have followed the professor since he had like 5k subs and of course, had like 10-15 pairs of AND1 shoes. A lot of people hated them. But those were some of the most comfortable shoes to wear to the park. I got into gymnastics and then parkour and those AND1’s were my go to shoe!

    Helluva interview fellas. I've always wondered why the and 1 dudes never got a real shot at the league and this interview answered a few of the questions. I like the fact that the professor didn't gloss over his struggles getting into college I think that's the reality for a lot of athletes and then it comes down to how bad do you want it.

    Tyson Fury (well, they had Wilder), Terrance Crawford (well, they had Spence), Gillie the Kid (well, they had Wallo) are some people I'd love to see on the show. The vibe is always right, they listen to their guest without interrupting them, they bring out the best in their guest's personality, ask meaningful questions, and they bring the right type of energy and laughter to go along with it.
