"There's not much out there, connecting pro basketball players to fans, like BCI Courtside Live. Even though we're role models, we don't get a lot of opportunities to make that count in a meaningful way. For a player, BCI Courtside Live is all about stepping up to get real about life in front of a worldwide audience. For kids and fans, it's about real-time access and authentic conversation with role models who respect that role. The potential for this unique program - a recurring public chat with pros on topics that really matter - is electrifying."

-Mike Wilks, Assistant Coach, OKC Thunder

Fan Center

Welcome to BCI Courtside Live!  CSL is a series of online,real-time, interactive public events that connect professional basketball players to fans and youth around the world. This event features unprecedented access to players about the practical and spiritual aspects of life in the pros.

We are excited to invite you to our new season of BCI Courtside Live. Again this season, along with the moderator and an active pro player, an AAU team will be on set with their coach. Being able to interact with a pro who's been there will be of great benefit to those young players on set, but also those in the viewing audience.

On Tuesday, October 17 from 9:00 - 10:00 pm ET moderator Adrian Branch (ESPN) chatted with Wesley Fluellen and members of the Colonial High School Grenidars from Orlando, FL along with their coach, Gary McDaniel. If you missed it, you can view it here.

On Tuesday, February 13 from 9:00 - 10:00 pm ET moderator Adrian Branch (ESPN) chatted with Ty Ellis and members of the First Baptist Academy Lions in Naples, FL and their coach Scott Stewart.
