Even with all of the basketball information and access that is readily available right at our fingertips nowadays, there is still plenty that goes on in the offices of the WNBA and NBA that we may never know.
Players, such as Carmelo Anthony, know everything. He particularly does because he has spent much of his life with a basketball in his hand. Now, he and a host of other players want to share what they know with the next generation.
Melo announced the launch of “Through the Lens,” a program that teaches the ins and outs of basketball – both on and off the court.
I am excited to announce the launch of @ThroughTheLens. The first basketball educational platform taught directly by NBA/WNBA players and industry professionals. We’re giving away all our secrets and helping mentor those that will come after us. https://t.co/LlxI8KuL0U #TTL pic.twitter.com/9GeFLRGpL5

Even better, those that sign up will be learning the ins and outs of the game and the business directly from WNBA and NBA players themselves. There are episodes featuring Napheesa Collier (Minnesota Lynx) and Candace Parker (Los Angeles Sparks) with those featuring Sabrina Ionescu (New York Liberty) coming soon.
Those that sign up can also learn from Anthony himself as well as Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks) among others in addition to media personalities such as Cari Champion and Shams Charania.
