James’ father and family helped him present his clinic at Westpark.
CAPS Media was part of the enthusiastic fans welcoming hometown hero and NBA superstar James Ennis III to the Westpark Community Center for a free basketball clinic for Westside youth. Ennis grew up on the Westside of Ventura and played at Westpark before attending Ventura High School and Ventura College. After playing basketball internationally, Ennis jumped to the NBA and has played for the Miami Heat, Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers.
The special Westpark clinic was a once-in-a-lilfetime experience for dozens of aspiring athletes and adoring fans. Ennis graciously shared his extraordinary basketball skills, encouraged future stars and dazzled fans with his easy going attitude and awe inspiring talent.
