Balls, t-shirts, and sneakers sent by Jack Ryan to Mali
Our correspondent in Mali, Africa, reviews the impact of Jack Ryan on players in the country:
“I tried to explain to them what “Hoop” first means and then “Wizard”…to make it very simple, I send them to Ryan’s website: www.hoopwizard.com so that with videos and images they can understand what he is doing around the world. After touring the site, they could not comment on the videos, particularly the shooting one. Some said, ”How can he do tricks like that…are these things that can be learned?” It has been a great experience for a lot of young men to discover the “Hoop Wizard” and the lessons which are available on the site. Even if they don’t understand exactly what Black Jack was saying in the video, some begin to practice the same moves. The only dream they have one day is to see Jack Ryan a.k.a Black Jack doing his wizard tricks with a ball live and in front of them!

No wonder black jack comes back to the city with the worst sunburn I ever seen, my Grandmother is from Mali so I know what the weather is like, in order to play out there your going to need gallons of gatorade.
