SKIM HIS INSTAGRAM account and you’ll know everything you need to know about Stanley Remy’s place in the game today. There he is in Miami with Dwyane Wade, helping the future Hall of Famer extend his NBA career. There he is with Duke freshman-to-be Vernon Carey, helping the scary good prospect prepare for his. There he is in China with CJ McCollum on an offseason sneaker tour. The list goes on. If you want to know who’s helping to keep your favorite player sharp right now, there’s a pretty good chance it’s Stan.

What his IG won’t tell you is how Remy became arguably the game’s most trusted skills trainer. He’s happy to do that himself—assuming you can find some time on his schedule between workouts.

The short version: Remy grew up hooping in Miami Gardens, a good but not great player who eventually wound up playing NAIA ball at Morris College in South Carolina. But even in high school, he started showing signs that his real impact would come before the actual games were played. He recalls a time his squad was set to face a team in the playoffs it had already been blown out by twice that season, so he convinced his coach to let him draw up a new gameplan. His squad won the rematch by double digits.
