UNINTERRUPTED content has come a long way from the LeBron James and a few friends with video commentaries. The firm’s web site describes their programming as

"Authentic. Insightful. Entertaining. The all-digital sports programming network with videos from the athlete’s perspective, original series, podcasts, and docs"

A perfect fit with Wizards

The 6-foot-7 Oubre played just one season for Bill Self. I certainly did not expect him to leave after that crushing loss in the NCAA tournament.  I never dreamed he was ready to play for pay in the NBA.  He averaged just over 9 points and 5 rebounds a game in 27 contests that season. With an All Big 12 Honorable Mention, I really wanted him to return.

He found the right situation in Washington and continues to improve. After a slow start, the New Orlean’s native is averaging 27 minutes a game this season. He also increased his scoring an average of 11 points a contest. While all that is fine, Oubre is also in charge of directing his UNINTERRUPTED series that is featured each Wednesday. I just hope he finds a way to do something fun with teammate and former Jayhawk Markieff Morris.
