Flashing back a couple decades to the infamous “And1 Mixtape” Tour that featured household names we grew up watching bring basketball into our homes every week, we are sitting down with Grayson Boucher, known as The Professor, for a special Friday drop.
Ryan, Channing and Fred talk to The Professor about how a young boy from Oregon ended up on the most popular basketball tour of the early 2000s. He explains how he went from community college to playing JUCO levels and by chance attended a tryout that forever changed his life.
Sharing details about the journey of being on the And1 and Mixtape basketball tours, Grayson talks about the success but also the pitfalls of the having fame and money overnight. Adapting to changing times, he turned his street ball skills and fame into a KZread sensation amassing over 7M subscribers for his channel.
Tap in for a conversation of nostalgia and fun stories this Friday afternoon!

Gotta love The Professor for not only being sick with the handle on the court but for having the vision to build a strong brand through social media as And1 started to die out. Mad props and salute to the Pivot!!!

The mixtape tour was such an epic part of my childhood. Loved hearing from Professor & reminiscing about all the big names, & he's such a decent & humble dude 👏

I have watched it easily 30 times.
Not only was he a big icon for a lot of kids. He’s still a good person, stays out of trouble. Shows how hard work pays off. And still works hard on his game. And always taking it up another notch.
Hell yeah professor deserves his due freaky fred gonna give it to him

Same! I have never been a huge basketball fan. Can’t really stand the NBA. I watch the playoffs and highlights of the players I do like. But… I LOVED AND1. Used to watch it every day, have followed the professor since he had like 5k subs and of course, had like 10-15 pairs of AND1 shoes. A lot of people hated them. But those were some of the most comfortable shoes to wear to the park. I got into gymnastics and then parkour and those AND1’s were my go to shoe!
Best takeaway: "It showed me that dedication, you can change a lot in a few months" - The Professor 2023.
This show literally gets better every show. Keep it up guys

Real streetball legend. Been watching him since I was a kid tryna do his moves 🔥🔥🔥
So dope to see the professor on here. Still watch his content to this day and he is an awesome dude!
The Professor is a great story teller. Great episode.
24:42-- The professor has a good heart and good spirit! Personification of peace
I grew up watching And I still have the DVD of the 2003 tour when Fess won the contract he's done well for himself post And1.
Man i was playing as this dude on the and 1 game on the ps2. Then buying all the and 1 mixtaped on dvd and binge watching them.Thats a crazy throwback now this dude is still finding ways to be successful in what he loves.
Mad Respect to "The Professor" if just be you do what you love was a person it would be him. The epitome of "just hoop". Dude is a 🐐 on the black top. Created his own lane! 🙏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

You guys do a great job of being prepared to ask great questions. So many interviewers are not prepared for interviews
The Professor!!! This is epic! 🙌🏽 Pivot is winning on all levels!
Street ball legend !!!!
Give him his flowers this man cross overs are crazy
One of my childhood inspirations in basketball growing up back in the days! NOSTALGIC and legendary salute The Professor
the professor is financially the most successful of all the And1 ball players. He's making millions from his youtube channels alone not to mention his sponsors and merchandise. mad respect for his hustle.
This is dope. Bring back so many childhood memories. It’ll be cool if y’all can get a bunch of the and 1 dudes and have like a mini series of interviews on them
Such a BIGGER fan of Professor after this interview. Legend!!
Bro I love this podcast! The guests y’all bring on!!🙌🏽
The professor is a real one! Big fan bro!
Pivot is my favorite pod selfishly I want y’all to increase the amount of episodes in a week but definitely don’t burn yourselves out and keep giving us the quality. Y’all are amazing everyone involved
I remember watching The Professor for the first time going against Hot Sauce, those def were the good oh days.
I'm a huge football fan. But I love when you guys bring in these basketball players.
Helluva interview fellas. I've always wondered why the and 1 dudes never got a real shot at the league and this interview answered a few of the questions. I like the fact that the professor didn't gloss over his struggles getting into college I think that's the reality for a lot of athletes and then it comes down to how bad do you want it.
Dope interview with the Professor. The Pivot has done it again with another solid interview. Keep bringing it.💯💪🏾
Wonderful interview. Solid young man😇🥰
The professor was my childhood crazy to see him here!!!
I love this guy...straight cool dude.
I watched the professor live dislocate a dudes shoulder with a cross over in Laguna beach Ca , years ago.

Seeing the Professor is bitter sweet for me. I’m happy that he found success through social media, but it also reminds me of the And 1 legends that didn’t make it. Wish all those old school ballers were living well!
The Professor!! Dude is a beast!!
Professor deserves this thank you pivot
Glad to see The Professor getting his flowers 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great episode as always fellas, much love. I know it hurt Channing to not get into his usual line of questions but I think the Snoop ep held him over lol
I tried out for And1 a few times. 1 time in Chicago the Other in Detroit. I was decent back then and can confirm that The Professor is the real deal. Black Widow and AO had NBA skill and it was easy to see.
The Professor is one the baddest street ballers and has a great story 🎉🎉🎉😮😮
And 1 was a whole movement....crazy. Nostalgic episode for us older heads, fo sho.
Professor that dude. Was out there his rookie year looking like Kalvin Cambridge.
And 1/ Streetball legend. Anytime I see a video with him it immediately takes me back to when I was 8

Someone always has to bring up race smh!!! Has nothing to do with a white boy. Multiple times on social media I've mentioned Pat would make a great guest! Now that he's associated with ESPN it would make it a lot easier to be able to come about.
Please get Professor a movie deal to be Teen Wolf. It would be a super cool movie, nostalgia at its finest.
This is 🔥🔥🔥. Love The Professor
I loved And1. The professor is great. Another great episode❤
Looking forward to this one.
Awesome pod like always fellas! The professer! was so unexpected, so glad to hear this mans story!
wow! amazing man, you guys keep killing it! Professor making sure he gives flowers to all the AND1 family man! also stating how Christ changed his life for the better! blessing

I been on The Professor since And 1. He is a "short" white kid that was locking folks up left and right lol He was one of my biggest sports idols growing up for sure. Great interview!
Tyson Fury (well, they had Wilder), Terrance Crawford (well, they had Spence), Gillie the Kid (well, they had Wallo) are some people I'd love to see on the show. The vibe is always right, they listen to their guest without interrupting them, they bring out the best in their guest's personality, ask meaningful questions, and they bring the right type of energy and laughter to go along with it.
Love this for Professor. He really deserves it.
My favorite And1 player❤❤❤Love
Dope interview 🔥🔥🔥🔥
All bangers from this group. Salute
Dope interview ! I didn’t want this one to end
The world has been waiting on this interview. Thank you pivot team. The interview feels real, historical, inspirational and ah ha moment ishh. Blessings and grace.
