1. I've always been a straight forward, tell it like it is type of guy... I aint changing now, especially for a group of people on the internet that I'll probably never even meet face to face. You'd think a group of individuals that wear stripes would be able to handle it!

2. When I initially began sharing these things (that some claim they already knew ) I didnt go to the old school card or do any name dropping until folks began acting as if I was crazy for mentioning these NBA philosophies.

3. If I didnt like the delivery of a person but the stuff they were delivering was substantial, I'm not going to object to it just because the delivery wasnt nice & sweet.
There's nothing nice & sweet about what we do...

No doubt BNR, first things first. Probably why the Professor started the 3 part video with defining PCAs & then took us to the graduates course.

Problem with some veterans is that they want you to ref your 3rd & your 3rd only even when they missed something obvious. Back in his prime, I guess it used to mean you were showing him up. In todays game, you say thanks & buy the man a beer!
