Welcome to Creators on the Rise, where—in partnership with global creator company Jellysmack—we find and profile breakout creators who are in the midst of extraordinary growth.
Chris Staples is a former Harlem Globetrotter, a world Slam Dunk Champion, has two Guinness World Records for slam dunking, was a contestant on The Bachelorette, is currently acting in Hollywood–and, oh, by the way, he’s also making a go of doing the content creator thing, too.
Needless to say, he’s not busy at all.
Back before all of this, he knew it was the kind of life he wanted. Or, at least, he knew he wanted to join the Globetrotters, which in itself is a lofty goal. What he didn’t know was how the Globetrotters did their application process.
So, to get the metaphorical and non-metaphorical ball rolling, he sent them an email. And attached to that email,...

Before he signed up for The Bachelorette Season 14 to vie for the affection of Becca Kufrin, Mike Renner made a name for himself as a sports analyst. So it's only fitting his employer would analyze him as he competes on the ABC dating show! You see, Mike works as a senior analyst for Pro Football Focus, who outed him as a contestant via Twitter, writing, "Yes, we will be grinding Mike's performance weekly."

Otherwise, this is close to the nadir of faux-inspirational filmmaking—the story of an ex-con and former USC basketball star who returns home to win back his girl and make the final round of an international dunking competition, directed by the evangelical schlockmeister Timothy A. Chey (The Genius Club, Suing The Devil) in a style that is part student film, part 1940s cheapie. Its impossibly conflict-free hero, Michael Diggs, is played by Chris Staples, a former Harlem Globetrotter with zero acting ability and the vacuum-like presence of Being There’s Chauncey Gardiner. The most interesting thing about Staples is that he has his own name tattooed...
