MK is trying to turn one-on-one basketball into the next global sport.
In this Digital Social Hour episode, MK breaks down how his street basketball format exploded into billions of views, why NBA players are scared to run ones, and why the future of basketball might not be 5v5.
He talks about building a global one-on-one league, playing in favelas with AK-47s nearby, challenging pros like Isaiah Thomas, traveling the world, going viral in every country, and why short-form basketball is beating traditional sports for attention.
This episode is about fame, competition, ego, basketball culture, and building a new sport from the ground up.
