As Danny Parkins and Ben Kaplan lay down in their masterpiece article, “Pipeline to the Pros,” the path that is unfamiliar to the NBA remains.
From Observation to Revelation
In 2020, when Kaplan’s sharp observation of D3 alumni being overlooked manifested in his question, I can confidently say that it set the ball rolling with Parkins getting all excited about the big role of Division III alumni in the NBA.
A Friendship Tested
Despite the personal tribulations of the illness and family issues, Parkins and Kaplan managed to derive happiness and purpose in their joint effort.
Extensive Research Reveals Clear Patterns
After three years of comprehensive research and interviews with the greatest and most revered names in the NBA, we found that there was a secret bond between Division III success and the NBA’s analytic debut.
The Rise of Analytics and Diverse Backgrounds
The NBA league office, during this digital transformation, required the front office to draft diverse candidates, one that differed from the typically old-school player-to-coach pathway
Balancing Diversity and Talent
At the same time, Parkins and Kaplan acknowledge the fact of an incoming flow of different ideas but this is one of the elements that the NBA should keep in mind while working on the further improvement of racial diversity among executive positions
A Heartfelt Journey
They reveal basketball as something more meaningful to them than tracking trends: basketball is a metaphor for true friendship, strength, and mutual passion.
Celebrating Friendship and Achievement
When Parkins and Kaplan handled the first copies of the book they had created and gave them to their mothers together, that was a special moment of the timeless friendship between the two women.
A Dream Realized
Proof, for Kaplan, that Brindley-Parkinsinessly believed in the project despite his situation illustrated both their friendship and the magical things dreams make together.
As “Pipeline to the Pros” becomes available, it doesn’t only unlock the door of a secretly different NBA route; but also symbolizes the friendship of two buds that share the same passion for basketball.
Not only did @DannyParkins help write the story of former D3 players & coaches rising up the ranks to shape the NBA, but he got to do so with his childhood best friend @bkaplan4.
