Give Sports founder XJ Silas is one of the hardest working people I've had the pleasure of working with. His work ethic is out of the roof, his love for the game is so noticeable and evolving his game to become a better basketball play is something I've seen from the first time playing with him.

X even as a younger man always had a desire to improve and get better...talented for sure but hard work set him apart from the rest. It's fitting that he is showing others how to improve as well.

You know, it’s no mistake that his jersey is up there next to mine. We both brought national attention to San Antonio, James Silas is definitely one of the lost guys who doesn’t get the credit he deserves, especially for playing the one spot. I would do all the damage during three quarters and in the fourth quarter we’d get him the ball because we knew he was ‘Captain Late.’ The things that he could do to those little point guards was amazing.
