NBA star Naz Reid returned to his home state of New Jersey to host an exclusive youth basketball camp.

The two-day camp was created for standout youth athletes in grades 8 to 11.

Participants learned directly from the Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center.

The camp combines high-level skill development, while also incorporating tournaments and conditioning sessions.

But what made this experience more unique was the off-court discussions focused on leadership and personal growth.

“They're super young, super talented as well, so you want to do off the court stuff too, along with on the court stuff... These guys are tremendous young kids, trying to be at the highest level in the NBA or even overseas, whatever the case may be. Those tools go a long way," Reid said.

Reid says he wants to inspire the next generation with lessons that go far beyond the game, using pivotal moments from his life.
