“So what do you have planned today Stan?” Little Chris asked.
“I’m going to do a layup at every gym and put it on the tube,” Layup Stanley replied.
Little Chris stood tall on his bike while watching Layup Stanley dribbling his ball.
“Hey Stan, I got one question.”
Layup Stanley stopped his dribble.
“What?”
“How you gone get in the gyms with no membership?”
Layup Stanley picked up his basketball from underneath his foot.
“I got my ways of getting in, don’t you worry about that,” he said.
Layup Stanley’s plan was genius, he would go to the gym’s manager and make a deal with them by telling them about how he would post videos on his popular page of him doing a layup in their gym to draw a crowd and increase gym memberships. The movement caught on and pretty soon Layup Stanley developed a following at every gym in just about every town. The little 5 foot 7 kid became famous in less than three months and had done a layup in well over five hundred gyms. When signing his shoe deal, his favorite slogan was: “Bounce the ball off of the small square, then swoosh, it’s in baby.”
