After Shocking the World, This Point Guard Wants More

In 2018, Jairus Lyles led his #16 seed UMBC to an unprecedented victory against #1 seed UVA in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. The question that stands now: How do you make sure you're not just a flash in the pan? VICE Sports went down to Silver Spring, Maryland to spend some time with Jairus to dig into just what his future in basketball has in store for him and how the NBA G League is helping him get there.

[@ethanprichard888]

I’m from Baltimore, and it’s hard to make it out of Maryland

[@Watchingvideoslikeu]

This man just said I hope he make it out of Silver Spring? Are you goofy? I'm from Kennedy st in DC just south of Silver Spring, MD. Silver Spring is where Doctors and Accountants move to when they make money, and you talking about make it out? Too many of you guys have been listening to rap music and think every neighborhood must be overcome in order for you to seem ”hard” or seem like you ”struggle”. Just accept that your parents and his parents worked to have you live in Silver Spring and not in Uptown DC or South Side Dc or northeast Dc or PG MARYLAND.

Damn..

He ain't have a dad but that's a big ass house he grew up in

[@nerdygiant7805]

I went to elementary school with him and I can tell you he didn't always live there. He was at a little townhome near Rosemary Hills. MD's a decent place but he was right on the edge where it kind of got rough. Dudes were mean but he was always a good person.

[@bigben228]

[@mafiagang20]

Big house or not a fathers presence is important

[@JenJHayden]

I would like to see this same effort put into back office stuff. I will never understand why the league is a goal when the real money, power, success is off the court.
