“I am extremely excited that Gridiron Celebrity Hoops has reached 15 seasons of production. There is a great joy in being a first. But this year’s anniversary is my opportunity to recognize those who have been so kind to me over the many highs and lows, struggles and triumphs of keeping this event alive for a decade and a half,” expresses Jordan, CEO and President of Jam Sports Productions. The event production company is minority-owned and the first to reach this major milestone and outstanding achievement.
