The Tee'd Up Podcast

Brandon Jennings’ basketball journey was a truly disruptive one. Coming up in LA, he was a phenomenon. A dynamic scorer who played with an edge and ducked no smoke. He left California for Oak Hill Academy and then opted to play (and get paid as a pro) overseas rather than the college route. By the team he was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks he had the poise and the polish to make an immediate impact in the league.Beyond his talent, Brandon established an identity for going against the grain and embracing his sense of style. From playing in Italy at 18 years old, to becoming Under Armour’s first signature basketball athlete, to launching his own clothing brand, Tuff Crowd, he’s always trusted his instincts. Even when he walked away from the game, Brandon knew that he had done enough playing basketball to feel satisfied and to welcome his next challenge.A CATCH12 PRODUCTIONCatch all new episodes of Tee’d Up every WEEK!Download full podcast episodes:Applehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-teed-up-podcast/id1822659820Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/4JrTYnO3IfkqetC26SGJMZFollow Tee’d Up on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/theteeduppod?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Catch12https://www.instagram.com/catch12media?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Tee Moranthttps://www.instagram.com/tee.morant?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Phil Moranthttps://www.instagram.com/unclephil_mo327?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Memphis born and raised, Elliot Perry is a pillar in a city deeply rooted in basketball culture. Coming up, Elliot aka Chuck, was a point guard phenom.

Of any player in NBA history, none have had the journey quite like Gilbert Arenas. A connection to the game and love of competition started early, but he was largely slept on. He waited for his opportunity, and at every level, when he got his moment, he took over. When Agent Zero was at his peak with the Wizards, few players on the planet could touch his game. Then when injuries and controversies added up, Gilbert survived, but his playing days eventually wound down.Thanks to his personality and high IQ, Gilbert has found his voice and second chapter in the new sports media space. Meanwhile, his son Alijah has emerged as an elite level player that cannot be denied. As a player, Gilbert’s game was spectacular. As a parent, he is both passing on that knowledge but also enjoying watching his kids embrace the game on their own.A CATCH12 PRODUCTIONCatch all new episodes of Tee’d Up every WEEK!Download full podcast episodes:Applehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-teed-up-podcast/id1822659820Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/4JrTYnO3IfkqetC26SGJMZFollow Tee’d Up on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/theteeduppod?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Catch12https://www.instagram.com/catch12media?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Tee Moranthttps://www.instagram.com/tee.morant?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Phil Moranthttps://www.instagram.com/unclephil_mo327?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Known as one of the toughest defenders to ever do it, Tony Allen’s game was a reflection of his personality.

Then he went the JUCO route before working his way up at Oklahoma State.Drafted to an eventual championship team in Boston, with a Big Three that empowered Tony to earn his NBA stripes, he found his identity in the league. Then in Memphis, it was his turn to lead a special group in the Grit and Grind Grizzlies.

The journey started from humble beginnings and a love of sports. For two brothers, Phil and Tee Morant, they tried just about anything competitive en route to a passion for basketball. That passion remained constant to the NBA world they walk in today. As we find out, Tee’s “GPS” for passing on the game from father to son was packed with skill, smarts and life lessons.With what began as a dream, reality was right around the corner as goals were not only reached but exceeded. As athletes, both Phil and Tee had their fair share of hard knocks, wins and losses. As a family, they passed on their knowledge and desire to Ja as he found the game. Along with him was best friend, Devonte Pack, aka D-Tap, who has been right there for the competition, training and success as part of the family.Now as the journey continues, they check in to share not only where they’ve been, how they’ve got there, but where they’re going to next… A CATCH12 PRODUCTIONCatch all new episodes of Tee’d Up every WEEK!Download full podcast episodes:Applehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-teed-up-podcast/id1822659820Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/4JrTYnO3IfkqetC26SGJMZ Follow Tee’d Up on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/theteeduppod?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Catch12https://www.instagram.com/catch12media?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Tee Moranthttps://www.instagram.com/tee.morant?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Phil Moranthttps://www.instagram.com/unclephil_mo327?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
