They have invested in 30+ companies like the delivery service Postmates and the micro-investing app Acorns, as well as created their own development and media firm, Thirty Five Media.Here are several isolated responses from an in-person conversation we had with KD when he was still with the Oklahoma City Thunder, at his Nike Summer Skills Academy in Washington, DC – back when I co-hosted the Hardwood Hustle. KD shared why his love for the game always comes first, the difference between playing on edge and playing with an edge and why being born with talent means nothing if you aren't willing to put in the work to develop it.What makes the best the best?

The elegance of the city's elite point guards, molded by the packed streetball courts, unwritten rules of bruising pickup games, and the perseverance required to survive everyday life, has come to define an era of basketball and American culture. Their transcendent style is etched in the consciousness of all who have witnessed these prodigies. The New York City point gods' lasting impact on the game of basketball can be seen around the world, in virtually every league.The film features a who's who of point guard deities: Rafer Alston, Kenny Anderson, Mark Jackson, Stephon Marbury, God Shammgod, Kenny Smith, Rod Strickland and Dwayne "Pearl" Washington. They brought theatrics, dizzying ball control, stylish misdirection, and a shake-and-bake game from the asphalt to the city's hallowed high school gyms and to the NBA, orchestrating successful offenses at every level. NYC POINT GODS explores not just how the city shaped these distinct players, but how these wunderkinds shaped and advanced the game under their watch, and whose impact continues to shape the game today.Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnzzi0QDK-wKENNY ANDERSON BIOKenny "Chibbs" Anderson played his high school ball at Archbishop Malley HS. After a college career at Georgia Tech, he played point guard professionally from 1991 to 2006, mostly in the National Basketball Association.Anderson was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the second pick in the 1991 NBA Draft. He was the youngest player in the league at that time. He averaged seven points, two rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game. In Anderson's second season he nearly doubled his point, rebound, and assist averages. In his third season, he averaged 18.8 ppg and 9.6 apg. Anderson and teammate Derrick Coleman represented the East squad in the 1994 NBA All-Star Game. He was traded to the Charlotte Hornets in 1996.Anderson has played for the Nets, Hornets (including both Charlotte and New Orleans franchises), Portland Trail Blazers, Boston Celtics, Seattle SuperSonics and the Indiana Pacers, and split a season for the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers.In 1998, Portland traded Anderson to the Toronto Raptors for Damon Stoudamire, but he refused to report to the team because he did not want to play in Canada. The Raptors traded him to the Celtics for Chauncey Billups.Anderson was released from Lithuania's Zalgiris Kaunas after the 2005-06 season.NYC POINT GODS ARTICLE FROM DEADLINE.COMShowtime has set a summer premiere date for NYC Point Gods, a feature-length documentary on the enduring impact of New York City point guards who honed their craft on the city's playgrounds and high school gyms in the 1980s and '90s.The pic from Showtime Documentary Films and Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman's Boardroom tips off at 9 p.m. Friday, July 29, on the premium cable net.NYC Point Gods features a who's who of point guard deities: Kenny Anderson, Mark Jackson, Stephon Marbury, Kenny Smith, Rod Strickland, Dwayne "Pearl" Washington, Rafer Alston and God Shammgod.
