Crazy to think that 25 yrs ago the man who would become one of the best NBA execs EVER was playing ball for a small college with no home gym.

1) sat next to Candace Parker during a Bulls/Celts game yrs ago. She was v nice and yelled “west siiyeeed” when Tony Allen scored
2) sat next to Aaron Wiggins’ dad at Bulls/OKC last yr. Couldn’t have been kinder.
3) in ‘09, Dodgers bleachers, guy called “Chicken Eye”…story for another time
