For many critics out there, this video serves as a declaration for many summer league-ers that go unnoticed. On occasion, some players are just as much of a threat as some NBA pros. We’ve seen this when Milwaukee Buck’s point guard Brandon Jennings went head to head against the George Goodman leagues Warren “D-Nice” Jefferson last week. Soon there will be a monumental event where the Pros and Joes can go head to head, and that is on August 20th. [...]
