Sweep OSU and win at least 1 at UCLA.
Yes, David Robinson - I'll get it right eventually. Also, the point about Russell I was making at Casa de Campo was that he was the only one of the 7 black NBA players who were playing that day who was an arrogant nasty jerk. Perhaps the other black guys never experienced terrible racism like Russell. I doubt it. Plus, Russell was nasty to the black Dominicans at the resort as well.David Robinson is who you are thinking of.
"Bill Russell: In the 1960s, I tried to move to Wilmington, MA, but nobody would sell me a house. So, I moved my family to Reading, a predominantly white town 16 miles north of Boston. Bigots broke into the house, spray-painted “Nigga” on the walls, shit in our bed. Police cars followed me often. I looked into buying a different house in a different neighborhood, but people in that neighborhood started a petition to persuade the seller not to sell to me."
Believe it or not, that kind of stuff can kind of make you less friendly and smiley. He probably shouldn't have done any of the fan stuff layer in life. Maybe he needed the money.
Sweep OSU and win at least 1 at UCLA.So much for your plan!!!
David Robinson is who you are thinking of.Oops, I meant to say Michael Robinson, who was great at Navy and in the NBA. He was also a great guy, and not an arrogant jerk like Lebron. Also, Michael Jordan had his second marriage at Casa de Campo, where everybody at the resort, including employees came out to watch him play golf with his pals. Michael was smiling, pleasant and signed autographs, unlike Bill Russell.
Maybe you should focus more on breathing life (outside of China) into your dying game.
" I have a higher calling than just basketball." LeBron James.I'm not a fan of Lebron, but his accomplishments speak for themselves. And the irrational hatred the guy provokes is awe-inspiring.
He won’t beat out Walters or Fitzgerald at Safety. Those guys are really good. More than likely will compete with Braeden Turner for the nickel position and provide high quality experienced depth across the board.Great get. Looks like he was a starter freshman year and a 4* recruit, then had injury issues. If he is healthy, could step in as a starter for us.

Northwestern picks up a commitment from transfer DB Dillon Tatum. Tatum entered the portal after three seasons with Michigan State, appearing in 15 games and recording 62 tackles.He has two years of eligibility remaining.
I met Russell at a golf outing in the Dominican Republic at Casa de Campo where I had a villa for many years. Miller Brewing sponsored the trip for many high level NBA players. All of them were very gracious, offering autographs and chatting, and all of them were black. All except Russell, who was openly hostile and nasty, and refused to sign authographs. I'm a life-long Celtics fan, but that soured me on Russell, as opposed to some of the other great black players on the Celtics. He was a great player but was also a nasty jerk, even when he was a long way from Boston.Steph’s an all-time great. The other guys were very good players but not in the pantheon of all-time greats like Michael, Larry, LeBron, Kareem and Russell. Very few of the greats didn’t/don’t have enormous egos. Not too different than the best coaches, most of whom are huge assholes. And Russell had good reason for not being warm and fuzzy. Boston was one of the most racist cities in America when he played there. He just had to lead them to 10 plus titles to get accepted.
