When it comes to representation, Rex Kalamian is it. For over 20 years, he's been an assistant to some of the greatest NBA coaches of all time -- including three trips to the All-Star game. His decorated resume includes the players he's developed like James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Demar DeRozan, and Kevin Durant. To be in conversation with him is to be humbled by the selflessness it takes to succeed with the world's greatest athletes.

"It's not just making them good basketball players... it's showing them what's coming ahead for them."
