    Episode 13 Guest - Corey Allmond

    Originally from Oxon Hill, Maryland, Corey Allmond has played some big games in his career, but perhaps none bigger than on November 19, 2009 when Corey scored 37 points in a road game against AP No. 4 Kentucky at Rupp Arena.

    He shot 11-of-16 from beyond the arc, the most three-pointers ever made at the arena and the most by a Southland or Sam Houston State player.

    Of the performance that day, Corey said, "I knew I was going to get a lot of open looks because of the fast pace they play."

    He's played in the NBA D-League/G-League, Internationally, including in China and in North America in the ABA and The NBLC.

    The 4 time pro league champion was on looking to capture number 5 before Covid19 shut down the sports world, including the NBLC.

    Corey is here to talk basketball, home quarantine cooking and his plans beyond basketball

    Episode 11: Guest - Carl English

    From shooting hoops on the side of the highway in rural Newfoundland, to going head to head with Kobe Bryant; Carl English has written quite a story.

    He experienced the tragedy of losing his parents at a young age and the triumph of a 20 year basketball career, as well as being a husband and father.

    Carl played NCAA D1 at the University of Hawaii for the Rainbow Warriors and traveled the World playing professionally in Countries like Croatia, Italy and Spain,

    He was also Captain Canada for several years as part of a Canadian National Team that helped lay the groundwork for much of the success basketball in Canada currently enjoys.

    Carl believes one of the biggest lessons in life is being able to get back up and move forward, no matter how hard or how many times you get knocked down.

    That fighting spirit has guided Carl his entire life.

    So proud to have this Canadian icon join me on the latest episode of "Around The NBLC"

    Episode Six: Guest - Cavell Johnson, Head Coach of the Kitchener-Waterloo Titans

    Cavell Johnson grew up knowing all about hard work and work ethic.

    From Doing chores around the farm, to honing his skills on the basketball court, Cavell has never shied away from doing what it takes to succeed.

    Experiences of an NCAA tournament match-up vs Georgetown to playing in several countries around the World, have all provided Cavell the many ingredients that make up his current coaching recipe.

    Even though basketball has shaped his life in so many ways, it was losing his brother to suicide in 2017 that has had the biggest impact on his life. Now Coach Johnson talks to others in hopes that those who are struggling will seek the help they need.

    This episode of "Around The NBLC" is about basketball, but it is also much more.
