A few sentences
Is this okay: You’d better get your act together next season my brother. We all prayin’ for you. I'm not trying to put more pressure on you but you're the only Pro Asian baller in the entire western hemisphere!

Much of this is OK. "We all prayin' for you" should, in standard English, be "We are / We're all praying for you". The appropriateness of calling someone who is (presumably) unrelated "my brother" depends very much on context.

- A comma before "but" might benefit the last sentence.
