I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF INTRODUCING YOU ALL TO AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS WORKED HIS BUTT OFF FOR THE PAST 4 OR 5 YEARS. THE MOTIVATION BEHIND THAT WORK-ETHIC WAS THE DESIRE TO SEPARATE HIMSELF FROM THE PACK, AND EARN A D1 SCHOLARSHIP. THAT D1 SCHOLARSHIP WAS OFFERED BY CAL STATE FULLERTON-WHERE KYLE WILL BE A FRESHMAN THIS FALL. ALTHOUGH KYLE ALLMAN JR. IS A HELL OF A PLAYER, I GIVE HIM MORE PROPS FOR BEING A WELL-ROUNDED AND GREAT YOUNG MAN OFF THE COURT. I GIVE HIS MOM AND DAD ALL OF THE CREDIT IN THE WORLD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A HIGH-CALIBER INDIVIDUAL.
BUT LET'S GET BACK TO THE BALL PLAYER @ HAND. KYLE IS A 6'4 SUPER ATHLETIC/EXPLOSIVE COMBO GUARD-WITH HANDLES AND RUSSELL WESTBROOK TYPE OF POTENTIAL. (I KNOW THAT SOME MAY CONSIDER RUSSELL TO BE THEIR #1 PG IN THE LEAGUE, BUT I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IF HE CONTINUES TO PUT THAT WORK INTO HIS CRAFT-THE SKY IS THE LIMIT FOR KYLE.) PULL-UP GAME. (CHECK) GREAT DEFENDER. (CHECK) HIGH BBALL I.Q. (CHECK) DISCIPLINE TO SUCCEED IN THE CLASSROOM. (CHECK) MATURITY OFF THE COURT. (CHECK) WITH ALL OF THE HYPE THAT GOES ON NOWADAYS, THE PROOF IS DEFINITELY IN THE PUDDING WITH KYLE. DON'T BE SURPRISED TO SEE HIM SHAKING ADAM SILVER'S HAND IN A FEW YEARS. HOWEVER, HE NEEDS TO BE EDUCATED ON WHO THE GOAT IS, AS WELL AS WHAT THE BEST CELL PHONE ON THE MARKET IS. LADIES AND GENTS I INTRODUCE YOU TO KYLE ALLMAN JR. (Instagram) sir.kyle
(TRAIN WITH ERIC HARRIS)
When did you first fall in love with the game of basketball and who was the person responsible for that?
(KYLE ALLMAN JR.)
When I was either 11 or 12 years old.
(TWEH)
What specifically about the game do you love?
(KAJ)
Just playing the game in general. I love the competition and I feel basketball is way more competitive than any other sport.
(TWEH)
Can you tell me a little bit about your basketball journey? The ups and downs, the different obstacles and how you were able to overcome them?
(KAJ)
My first three years of high school. I didnt get much attention. That ultimately sparked a fire inside of me. Then my senior year I went to a better school and started getting the attention that I felt like I deserved. In the prcoess I started killing the competition which helped tremendously.
(TWEH)
Can you pinpoint your favorite moment from your basketball journey and why it turned out to be your favorite?
(KAJ)
Honestly getting a scholarship only for the simple fact that my parents dont have to pay for me to attend college. So that was a big accomplishment.
(TWEH)
Who is favorite NBA player and why?
(KAJ)
Kobe! Just for his will to win and his competitiveness. I love his motor and he spends hours in the gym which I love doing as well so I can definitely relate to that.
(TWEH)
How did training with Eric Harris contribute to your development and growth as a basketball player?
(KAJ)
He has made me a lot tougher. Gave me the moves that other kids weren't working on that I was able to use in gametime situations so instinctively I got a lot better.
(TWEH)
What have you been able to take away from training with Eric that you feel will ultimately help you transition into playing Division 1 basketball @ Cal State?
(KAJ)
The physicality. His workouts are very intense in terms of when I am training he uses those pads to push me around and getting hit constantly while doing those drills definitely prepared me to play in Cal State and helped take my game to a higher level.
(TWEH)
What would you tell a young up and coming player about training with Eric?
(KAJ)
That he should definitely do it. If you are trying to get better and take your game to the next level you should definitely invest your time in training with Eric Harris.
(TWEH)
You being a multipurpose point guard yourself, is there anybody in the NBA you have modeled your game after?
(KAJ)
Not necessarily but I like Dion Waters . I steal a lot of moves from him and I like his craft.
(TWEH)
Recently Shaq was on record saying that he would take a prime Kobe Bryant over LeBron James. Do you agree?
(KAJ)
Yes I would take Kobe Bryant over LeBron James.
(TWEH)
What is your favorite thing to do outside of basketball?
(KAJ)
Shop and go to museums. I enjoy seeing a lot of new things.
(TWEH)
Can you tell us a little about about your sneaker collection? The word on the streets is you're a sneaker head?
(KAJ)
I love Retro Jordan's. I try to get as many as I can. My top 3 in my closet are my Champagne 6's, DB 10's, and my Bred 4's. I love Jordan's though.
(TWEH)
Who is your favorite Hip-hop artist?
(KAJ)
J Cole
(TWEH)
If you were given a chance to pick up a top-tier female celebrity from any age, decade or generation to take on a date with you who would you take?
(KAJ)
Beyonce
(TWEH)
Who would you take on your team, Steph Curry or Russell Westbrook?
Russell Westbrook for sure.
(TWEH)
Jay-Z or Kanye West?
(KAH)
Jay-Z
(TWEH)
Pac or Biggie?
(KAJ)
Tupac
(TWEH)
Lastly, can you give a special S/O to anyone?
(KAJ)
My parents .They have supported me and invested a lot of time into my development as a basketball player. Especially my Dad and he is the one paying for my workouts.
