Lansing, MI and the surrounding Lansing Region has always had a rich basketball tradition. Not only in it’s programs (Michigan State University) or the players the Lansing area has produced, but the pride the community showcases elevates that tradition.

We have a strong community oriented plan that will be implemented and in partnership with key community partners – programs, I believe we all can experience lasting success with the Lansing Pharaohs.”
“Chris came down for our recent Team Market Owners meeting and impressed us with his knowledge of marketing and commitment to community. Our core vision is to impact young lives in the markets we are in through the celebrity afforded our athletes .” Evelyn Magley CEO TBL
