CJ Watson NBA to Investor "Put-In The Work" S6 EP 17

This episode of Black in Sports, we sit down with CJ Watson — a 10-year NBA veteran, entrepreneur, author, and Las Vegas legend — for a conversation that’s as inspiring as it is motivational. Born and raised on the West Side of Las Vegas, CJ’s story is built on grit, consistency, and quiet excellence. From hooping at Bishop Gorman to becoming a standout at the University of Tennessee, CJ shares how he adapted his game at every level — transforming himself from an overlooked prospect into a reliable professional who carved out a decade-long career in the NBA. He walks us through his journey across several NBA teams, the mindset that kept him ready when his number was called, and the silent work ethic that earned him the nickname “Quiet Storm.” But CJ’s impact didn’t stop when he stepped off the hardwood. Today, he’s a force in business and community work — building his portfolio in real estate, angel investing, and crafting stories as a children’s book author. Through his non-profit, The Quiet Storm Foundation, CJ continues to pour into youth, empowering the next generation of leaders from his hometown and beyond. This Las Vegas Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Famer shows us why being “quiet” never meant being small — and how his influence continues to grow far beyond basketball. 🔥 If you’re a fan of NBA stories, entrepreneurship, community impact, or Las Vegas culture… this is an episode you can’t miss.
