Malachi Smith & his Father, Elliot Rosado, join Beyond The Journal in the studio to give you a glimpse inside Maliz World. We talk all things NYC basketball! From his start in AAU at Gauchos, to Saint Raymond’s, the PSA Cardinals, Nike’s NY vs NY and a BTJ favorite…Dyckman! Several NYC ballers and coaches are mentioned throughout the conversation, including friend and former guest Chris Williams, aka CWill. We discuss Mali’s workouts, work ethic, what inspires & motivates him, the recruiting process and how he handled the stressful decision of committing to the D1 program, Dayton University. Elliot also provides a parent’s perspective which is helpful for all parents navigating the basketball world with their young ballers. Take a trip with us inside Maliz World!
