'For the past couple of summers, New York City’s basketball scene has received yet another bump its worldwide allure thanks to the “Black Ops“ pickup games at the Life Time Athletic gym in the Sky residential building. These runs move away from the rugged asphalt courts NYC is so known for and welcome NBA superstars LeBron James, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Tim Hardaway Jr., Ben Simmons, Donovan Mitchell, ”Hoodie” Melo and many more to the pristine Midtown gym. At its helm is trainer Chris Brickley, who works out hoopers, both pro and amateur, as well as celebrities and musicians at the same gym, making it a must visit for any famous basketball lover in the Big Apple during the offseason. While Chris’s love for basketball goes back to his younger days as a kid in New Hampshire, his career as a private trainer began alongside the Cleveland Cavaliers’ guard J. R. Smith. The duo met through J. R.’s brother, Chris, who was once Brickley’s teammate at Louisville. Ten years and many more tattoos later, the two have formed a bond through basketball and fashion, the latter of which made its debut during this year’s New York Fashion Week.'
