Racine Press Conference A Success
On August 8th, 2014, history was made in Racine, Wisconsin. The Racine Storm publicly announced to the media, fans and even local government officials their decision to join the Premier Basketball League for the 2014-15 season.
Racine mayor, John Dickert kicked off the conference and spoke about how excited he was for the Storm's inaugural season in the PBL and what good it would do for the local community.
Following Mayor Dickert, Storm owner Michael Tyler, gave his presentation on what the Storm will do for their community and the benefits for the organization and its players that come with joining the PBL.
"There have been a lot of great basketball players from Racine," Tyler said. "Several players have played in the NBA like Caron Butler and there have been a slew of Racine players who have played at the Division I level."
Tyler also mentioned the importance of patience when players strive to reach their goal of making the NBA.
"It's just not about getting to the NBA, but playing in the D-League overseas," stated the Storm owner. |
