@__pielmorena @tsunamitaj Is it possible you’ve never met a person that beautiful? Not just physical beauty. There are some people who have such a dope spirit that you can’t help but be filled with admiration and awe. I’ll admit that those people are rare, but if you meet one, I think you’ll understand.

@KevinGarnett5KG The U.S. needs to create a national team that is committed for a long time. The days of just throwing 12 together should be over. It's not fair to the players or to the country. You could probably do it with non-NBA players. The is a lot of talent that are not on NBA rosters.
