Former NBA player C.J. Watson played for five different teams during his career including the Warriors, Bulls, Nets, Pacers, & Magic. Watson also has played overseas in Greece, Italy and Turkey. C.J. was originally signed to a 10 day contract by the Warriors where he impressed Coach Don Nelson as a backup to Baron Davis. Watson also played with Derrick Rose during his 2011-2012 MVP season, battling Rose every day in practice while averaging just under 10 points per game that year with the Bulls.

Watson played his college basketball for the Tennessee Volunteers for four seasons. He finished his collegiate career as Tennessee's second all-time leader in assists and steals while scoring 1,424 points.

While his basketball experience is impressive, his skills go far beyond the basketball court. Philanthropy has been at the center of Watson's career since he developed a scholarship fund that honors his late grandmother and helps to support students studying education. Watson also started the Quiet Storm Foundation in his hometown of Las Vegas. The foundation was established in order to foster learning opportunities to help young kids grow and achieve their goals in his community. In addition to his non-profits, Watson has developed a children's book series titled CJ's Big Dream. With this series he hopes to inspire young kids to chase their dreams and work hard for what they want.
