Mid-Michigan 3on3 Basketball: Interview with Founder, John Ali
John Ali, founder of Mid-Michigan 3 on 3 Basketball, discusses his basketball program and the unique aspects of three-on-three basketball. He explains that his program is geared towards youth sports and provides a semi-structured environment where kids can have fun and improve their skills. One of the key features of the program is not publicizing scores or standings, which allows the focus to be on the experience rather than winning. John also talks about the challenges of finding adequate facilities and the growth of the program over the years. He emphasizes the importance of playing with friends and the benefits of three-on-three basketball for player development. The conversation concludes with a rapid-fire Q&A session where John shares his favorite basketball memory, his favorite Jay-Z album, and his approach to fixing the Detroit Pistons.
