Do we hate the player, but love the game? Ball is Business is an investigation into the complex world of amateur basketball, from the players who love the game to the systems that break their hearts.

In September 2020, Alexis' original pitch for “Ball is Business” was chosen as one of 10 finalists (out of 1,800 entries) in iHeartRadio’s Next Great Podcast competition. She had three weeks to create a pilot of an narrative documentary podcast investigating the exploitative nature of the high school basketball recruitment circuit. The pilot features interviews with ESPN’s Baxter Holmes, The Last Shot’s Corey Johnson, top NYC youth basketball recruit Jermel Thomas and Dr. Akuoma Nwadike discussing the effects being a star athlete as a kid has on your mind, body and identity.

Alexis is currently pitching the series to outlets who are interested in producing Ball is Business into a full series with care, passion and a relentless pursuit for truth! Take a listen to the pilot and hit us up if you know anybody who fits that description!
