Derek Smith

I’m a 6’5” former college basketball player, full-time content creator, and on-camera personality based in Los Angeles, California. After competing at the collegiate level and earning my MBA in Sports Management, I built a social media audience of more than 500,000 followers and generated over 1 billion cumulative views across platforms through sports, basketball, and entertainment content. I’ve collaborated with major brands including Meta, Oakley, Champion, Kalshi, Dr. Dish Basketball, and Li-Ning, and my content has been featured by SportsCenter and House of Highlights. My experience includes hosting, interviewing athletes and fans, creating branded content, producing social media campaigns, and appearing in both short-form and long-form digital productions. With a strong athletic background, natural on-camera presence, and experience working with major brands and media platforms, I bring energy, authenticity, and professionalism to every project.
