This episode is one that you do NOT want to miss. Merl Code is in the House! The basketball world is not always a fair place for everybody and this episode is a perfect example of why. 

Merl Code was one of those players that saw the play happen before it happened. He played with love, passion, joy and made those around him better. He played his college hoops at Clemson and went on to play professionally overseas, including a stint with the Denver Nuggets. He later worked as a sneaker rep for both Nike and Adidas where he would eventually find the game he loved betraying him. Merl dives deep into his basketball journey from start to finish. He shares stories about his recruiting process, Clemson, playing professionally, his time at Nike and Adidas, and his book titled Black Market. Merl also speaks his truth of how the justice system failed, how he ended up spending 5 and a half months in Federal Prison, and what’s next for him and his journey.

We can’t thank Merl Code enough for taking the time to share his story. The basketball world can be a dark place at times and we are beyond thankful to have Merl speak his truth. We know that Merl is going to have a positive impact on whatever he does moving forward. 
Be sure to purchase his book Black Market as this episode is just a small sample size of what you will learn from buying the book. Don’t pass on this episode!

Thank you Merl Code!
