S2E1: Jordan Walker talks climbing the ranks in European basketball, essential guard skills to become a pro & the mindset of an overseas hooper

We’re back! Super excited to kick off Season 2 of the Gem Sessions Podcast – The Athlete’s Season. For the next several weeks, we’ll be catching up with basketball players all around the world, learning their unique journey & story, getting the behind-the-scenes look at the basketball lifestyle and getting to know these hoopers for the humans they are.

In today’s episode, we have Jordan Walker on the show coming to us live from Belgrade, Serbia. Jordan is currently a Guard for Košarkaški klub FMP in the AdmiralBet ABA League - the top league in Serbia.

Prior to this season, J-Walk climbed his way up the ranks of European basketball one step at a time and we go into detail on this during the episode. Jordan shares stories from his professional stops along the way, including playing in Georgia, Germany (for two different teams), Belgium and now Serbia.

We get into a good conversation on X’s and O’s of basketball as well, covering topics such as spacing, decision making and defense. Jordan shares insights on changes he’s had to make to his game to continue to excel on the court and level up his game.

Of course, I had to put my guy through the fire round at the end with fun topics like most embarrassing basketball story, starting five rappers as hoopers, some good ol’ start/bench/cut and more.

Jordan is a great athlete but an even better person! We’ve been working together for 6 years now and I knew I had to kick off this season with him. He’s got a bright future ahead of him on the court, for sure, but will do even more great things off the court. Make sure you hit that follow button on IG and Twitter to show him some love.
