He shared the turning point that confirmed coaching was his path, the first big-name athlete he ever worked with, and how Carmelo Anthony impacted his career. Chris also talked about working with Lebron James, Kevin Durant, gave a story of the most legendary pick-up run he was a part of, the hardest workers he’s trained, wanting to train Steph Curry, missing a Kobe Bryant text and what it’s like bringing both NBA players and artists like J. Cole into the gym.
