Joshua K. Willis is a young basketball player who has come a long way since his early days on the court. He first started playing basketball in 5th grade but it wasn’t until he hit 7th grade that he started taking things seriously. From that point on, basketball became a major part of his life.
Joshua’s education began at Genevieve Melody Public School. Later, he attended North Lawndale College Prep (Collins Campus) for his freshman to sophomore year, and Morton East Cicero for his junior to senior year. During his high school years, Joshua’s passion for basketball continued to grow and he worked hard to improve his skills.
After high school, Joshua’s basketball career took off. He joined the InTheGymHoops basketball camp during the beginning of his junior year, which turned out to be a great decision. The camp was ranked as one of the top 5 camps in the country and Joshua balled out, gaining a lot of exposure from coaches, the internet, and even celebrities on Instagram.
Over time, Joshua’s talent became more and more recognized, and by his senior year, he had several college offers, including a few from D1 schools. Unfortunately, COVID and transportation issues prevented him from attending college, so he decided to take another route and go overseas to pursue his dream of playing professional basketball.
Joshua trained hard and worked on his skills daily until he found a combine to attend. He played well at the combine and was eventually given the opportunity to play professional basketball in the Philippines. His first game is scheduled for March 25th, 2023.
While basketball is clearly a major focus in Joshua’s life, he also places a great emphasis on his personal health and well-being. He is a vegan and takes great care of his body, which is extremely important to him.
Despite his success and recognition, Joshua remains a chill, cool, and laid-back guy who mostly keeps to himself. However, when he steps onto the court, he is a fierce competitor who is determined to give his all and show the world what he’s capable of. With his passion, dedication, and talent, it’s clear that Joshua K. Willis is destined for great things in the world of basketball.
