Summary

Smallz and Tyler have Philadelphia legend Bobby Jordan on Create Your Shot this week. As shot creators generally do, Bobby gets buckets telling the guys about his life as a HS athletic director, AAU coach, college assistant and being a husband and father. Bobby raps about his favorite spots on Drexel's campus, breaks down what its like to have your best player get hurt multiple years in a row and whether he or his wife is the better basketball player.
