C.J. Watson

C.J. Watson's basketball career has allowed him to play for some of the best teams in NBA history. While his professional basketball experience is impressive, his skills go far beyond the basketball court. 

Philanthropy has been at the center of Watson's career since the start of his scholarship fund. The fund honors his late grandmother, Mary L. Watson, and helps support students studying education. In his hometown of Las Vegas, Watson also started the Quiet Storm Foundation in order to foster learning opportunities that include social skills development and health and fitness activities to help the youth grow and achieve their goals in his community.

In addition to his non-profits, Watson has developed a children's book series named CJ's Big Dream. With this series, he hopes to inspire young kids to chase their dreams and work hard for what they want.

Why tell this story?

I had humble beginnings and had to work hard to get to my dreams. I want kids to know that even if things are hard they can still make their dreams come true.

CJ's Big Dream Book Series

CJ’s Big Dream's series is a story about a young basketball player that Watson has written to promote his message: “Always believe in yourself and to follow your dreams.” The stories follow a young boy from a low-income neighborhood through various life events: big games, school projects, and school bullies. By believing in himself, he works his hardest to succeed. More books are in the works to introduce new hurdles and new solutions.

EACH BOOK IS SPECIAL

When you purchase one of C.J.'s stories, you can also have the book autographed and personalized to whomever you want!
