"Meet Our Founder:

Isaac Valdez

From humble beginnings to a successful basketball career, our founder and former player has always had a passion for the game. His journey began at Palisades Park High School, where he led his team in scoring and rebounding. He then went on to play at Bergen Community College (BCC), where he achieved impressive accolades:

- Ranked 3rd in the country as a freshman

- Broke the school record with 24 rebounds in a single game (a record last broken in 1978)

After college, he continued his career overseas, playing in the Dominican Republic for La Plaza Valerie, where he led the team in assists. He also played in Puerto Rico before deciding to give back to the community.

Giving Back:

Our founder started the nonprofit organization WE GOT NEXT, dedicated to helping young athletes achieve their basketball goals. Through WE GOT NEXT, he has helped four student-athletes secure college scholarships to play basketball. The organization continues to provide valuable resources and support to future generations of young stars, including:

- Basketball training and mentorship

Our founder's commitment to giving back has made a lasting impact on the lives of many young athletes, and WE GOT NEXT continues to be a source of inspiration and support for those pursuing their basketball dreams."
