24 Hours with Brandon Jennings

Hours 1-6:

Brandon Jennings is the Milwaukee Bucks point guard and he is currently in his off-season house out in Los Angeles, California. Brandon: “The first thing I do when I wake up is have my personal chef Peter make me a fruit smoothie and toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich for a very healthy breakfast. Then I go for a work out at the gym to stay fit in the off-season so I am ready to get back and be ready to in shape for the workouts with my team.”  Brandon: “Since the draft is so close the Bucks have chosen me to do a little two on two with Andrew Bogut against some possible draft prospects the Bucks would like to have on the team. All of the Bucks scouts are going to be there to see if they could improve the team in their first season and I think that could help us a lot. I heard that we are playing against Alec Burks and Donatas Motiejunas they both are pretty good and it would be fun to have either of them on the team.“

Hours 7-12:

 Brandon: “The two guys did really well they made it competitive but with the NBA experience that we have we were able to beat them. The draft is only about 5 hours away and the Bucks haven’t yet made a decision who they will pick with the No. 10 pick but I think that Alec Burks showed that he is NBA ready.” Brandon: “I am just boarding the plane to get to New Jersey where the draft will be held the Bucks want me there to meet my new teammate after he gets drafted. Also in the Bucks second round pick will be announced by me. I feel very special to be doing that.” Brandon: “I have just arrived at the airport and with the passing through the time zones the draft is less 2 hours away. As I am arriving at the stadium a lot of the NBA players are there like most of my teammates, There is also a lot of fans I guess they are really like coming out here to see the future of their to be picked.”  David Stern (Commissioner of the NBA): “With the Tenth pick in the 2011 NBA Draft the Milwaukee Bucks select Alec Burks guard Colorado.” Brandon: “Since Alec Burks was drafted I now have to go meet him. I think he could learn a lot for John Salmons in his first.” Brandon: “Alec told me that he is very happy to be playing for the Milwaukee Bucks and he hopes to learn a lot from everyone on the team.”

Hours 13-18:

Brandon: “With the 40^th pick in the second round of the 2011 NBA the Milwaukee Bucks select Willie Reed Power Forward from St. Louis. That was a very neat experience to announce one of my possible teammates next year. While I was on the phone talking to him it sounds like he knows what he has to do and what he can improve on in the next few years.” Brandon: “After each of the Draft our team holds a team workout but that can’t happen this year because the league CBA has expired so we can’t practice as a team. This is what is happening now in the NFL. So maybe I get all the players on the team out to a nearby College or even the Bradley Center to have an all players practice.” Brandon: “So I got all the guys here we were going to go to the Bradley Center but that is closed for construction so instead we went to the U.S. Cellular Arena or otherwise known as the Mecca. I also got the team trainers and we had a nice 2 hour workout. I felt since I’m the leader on the floor I should become one off the floor too.”

Hours 19-24:

Brandon: “I just got off the phone with the events planner of the Milwaukee Brewers and they want me to throw an opening pitch at one of the games when they play the Dodgers. Since I’m a huge Dodger fan I’m going to where the Brewers jersey they give me with my Dodgers hat on.” Brandon: “The game was very good even though the Dodgers lost but after I threw the opening pitch the Brewers GM asked me if I wanted to play in the brewers Minor league system during the lockout he said the Jokingly.  With The lockout in place I don’t have anything much to do anymore so I think I will watch some of my teammates play in Las Vegas in the Summer League. Or maybe I will see if I can go back to some over sea’s country and play Pro basketball there like I did a few years ago before the Bucks drafted me. I’m very popular there in Italy especially.” That’s a day in the life of Brandon Jennings
