Wassup Everybody,
Hope everyone had a blessed Holiday, and I hope everyone had a warm meal to eat. My Christmas was cool. Me, Terrence and my Mom had dinner at my teammate Andre Hutson’s house. His lovely wife cooked a Bomb Dinner for us. It was great! First time ever being away from home for Christmas…I’m not gonna lie I enjoyed it. It was real laid back. Until next time, gotta get back to this Laker game.

Your Boy,

Wassup Y’all,

Today was a GREAT day! My Team-Mates and I got to spend time at a children’s hospital,
giving out Christmas gifts to the kids. It was really cool. When you go
to places like that, it reminds you how blessed you really are. There
were kids in there who probably won’t be able to make it to next
year…I’m glad I was able to at least do something small and put a
smile on their faces. I am a fortunate person for a lot of reasons.

From Team Jennings, just wanna say Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to
all of you!

Giving Back

Wassup Everybody?!? Just wanted to write to y’all to clear up a few things. I’ve been seeing some negative talk about some of the things I’ve written on my blog. My blog is not to put anyone on blast or anything like that. The things I say are to show kids who are thinking about coming over here how real it is, and I’m just going to keep it 100% real. Because I don’t want anyone coming over here thinking it’s easy. The whole reason I’m doing the blog is because I made a decision that is basically unprecedented. I’m not trying to make myself sound better than anyone else…I’m just trying to tell people what it’s like. So that’s why I talk about the ups and the downs. It’s not a game once you become a Pro, it’s real life. To be great, you gotta put in the time and be responsible off the court. 

But anyways. I have a Euro League game tomorrow. I play against my boy Frank Robinson…he’s from LA. Met him playing pick up and stuff in LA. So it could be fun playing against him. I know he’s hyped about the game…I talked to him a few times over skype. We gotta get this Win. Every game is important, but we need this one.

A few people have asked me what kind of music I like to get me ready. Songs I listen to before the game:
Freck Billionaire- Don’t Talk Much, Classic 100 bars
Jadakiss- Bring You Down, Shine
Joe Budden- OverKill
Stack Bundles- Good With the Bad
Fabolous- I Don’t See Nobody
The Game- Still Me, Put You On The Game
Jay-Z- Pray, No Hook
Common ft Pharrell- Announcement
Ice Cube ft The Game-  Get Use To It
Bun B- You’re Everything
Jazmine Sullivan- Need U Bad, (think bout my girl)
And all of Ryan Leslie’s songs.

Happy Holiday’s,

B Jennings

Wassup Everybody,

I know it’s been a few weeks, I think? I just got back from a road trip where we played against Carife Ferrara. They are also in the Italian League. We ended up losing by 6 points. Things aren’t going great right now for us in the Italian League…we’ve lost 5 in a row. We gotta find a way to turn this thing around and start winning again.

I think we will be fine because we are a mentally tough team and we work really hard. After the game the other night our GM got me kind of fired up as he said some tough things we all deserved to hear. I think that’s what we needed and hopefully it will turn things around for us. A lot of the guys on the team have been sick with the flu and are hurt right now, so we’ve been playing short-handed…only 8 guys in the lineup. Hopefully everybody gets better soon ’cause at the end of the day we need all 12 guys.

Other than that it’s been the same ol same, just working as hard as I can and staying focused. I’m not sure if you guys have seen it yet but I recently got the cover of DIME Magazine’s December Issue. So the next time you go to the newsstand look for it and check it out. My boys say I look like I’m 12 years old in the cover picture, lol. Also, on this cover Dime I am not rockin UA basketball shoes but our New Evade II low top Trainers. You guys will have to wait to see my new UA hoops shoes. I will be rockin a fly pair in my game Thursday night vs. Ricky Rubio. But on a serious note, I really want to thank everyone at DIME for supporting me while I have been so far away from home. You guys have been in my corner since my Fresh/Soph year in HS…that’s love and I appreciate it!

Like I said this Thursday, we play against Ricky Rubio’s squad in the Euro League, Spain. This is gonna be a lot of fun. A lot of people have mentioned this game to me…I’m looking forward to the challenge of playing a tough squad and a high-profile talent like Ricky. Right now we are 1st in the Euro League and Ricky’s team is 3rd. I know they are going to come out hard especially since we are playing in their gym and they are extra hungry for a W. I know if we execute everything our Coaching Staff has been preparing us for we will be okay. We need to stay focused, take care of the ball and execute the game plan.

Finally, I have to give my Mom some love as she made fried chicken the other night…haven’t had that in a long time. I can’t even tell you how much I missed that! I’m starting to appreciate the little things more than ever.

Until next time!

Your Boy,

Brandon
