The Local Basketball League Taking Miami by Storm | Fui Martinez & Bryant Besu

Fui Martinez and Bryant Besu built Courtside Basketball League from the ground up — and it's become one of Miami's most exciting local sports communities. In this episode they break down how it all started, how they organize divisions, use AI to track stats and create highlight reels, and what their vision is for the future of Courtside.

We also get into the hardest players to ref, 4-pointers, Courtside Kids, coaching philosophy, renting out the arena, stars who've played at Courtside, and the partnership with Accident Medical Group. Plus — Adebayo's legendary 83-point game, a freestyle rap session, and top 3 restaurants in Westchester.

This is what community basketball looks like when people actually care about doing it right.
