    I read a profile a year or two back about his post-hoop life, his media ventures - they sounded really interesting and he was really excited explaining it. It was the first time I'd viewed him as more than a basketball player who seemed to be trying to check all the boxes of what a great basketball player is supposed to do and how to act. Anyone know if he ever reconciled with his parents. Weren't they put on ignore after he got married? Were they involved in his retirement? He was a lock, but his announcement of going into the HOF at the ASG is going to be painful.

    Yes. He was good. It's not a citizenship award.

    Here's the chopper path...left OC, flew over Staples, crashed 12 minutes later on way to Mamba Academy.

    NBA TV is doing a pretty good job with this.

    Showing what I think is a postgame interview with Doc Rivers right now. He’s pretty emotional.
