Grayson Scott “The Professor” Boucher, born 10 June 1984 in Keizer, Oregon — an American professional streetball player best known for the AND1 Mixtape Tour, and now one of basketball's most-watched creators.
No, and this is the single most common mix-up. @globalhooper on Instagram is his streetwear brand account — 49.3K followers, bio “Basketball Streetwear #PassionDriven”. The @GlobalHooper channel on YouTube is empty and has never posted. His actual accounts, and the ones his own website links, are @theprofessor on Instagram and @Professorlive on YouTube.
Verified live: 8.62M YouTube subscribers across 790 videos, and 5.6M Instagram followers (Instagram's own meta tag rounds the same profile to 6M). His own bio page claims over 25 million followers across all platforms and more than 5 billion organic views — that combined figure is his own claim and could not be independently reconciled, because his TikTok, X and Facebook counts were all unreadable from here.
He was born and raised in Keizer and went to high school there, but his own Instagram bio gives his location as LA. Treat Keizer as origin, not as a current business address.
The 7-Day Ball Handling Challenge at $7, Elite Finishing Techniques at $27 (pre-launch), Crossed Up University at $19/month or $147/year, GlobalHooper apparel from $50, and signed memorabilia from $50 up to a $300 personalised video message. See Training and Programs.
No. Crossover5.com is a free opt-in page: it gives away a “5 Steps to the Perfect Crossover” tutorial in exchange for an email, and says so plainly — “valued at $299, is 100% free. No credit card required.” Its shop and story pages both 404. His YouTube still describes it as handle training “starting soon”. The paid training lives at crossedupu.com.
Because two of his own pages disagree. The current membership page quotes $19/month or $147/year. An older page still carries a Cyber Monday banner and shows $49/$495, $9/month and $75/year in different blocks. Only the current pair is treated as fact here; the conflict is recorded rather than resolved.
Semi-Pro (2008, uncredited), Ball Don't Lie (2008) in the lead role as Sticky, Ball Up: Life on the Road (2012), Adam Sandler's Hustle (2022) and Untold: The Rise and Fall of AND1 (2022). He is also a playable character in AND1 Streetball, 3on3 Freestyle and NBA Live 19.
A web series he created in which he disguised himself as Spider-Man and played unsuspecting opponents on LA courts. The first episode reached 14 million views within a week, was featured on ESPN's website and was tweeted out by Shaquille O'Neal. Later episodes featured Jamal Crawford and Larry “Bone Collector” Williams.
