This is the type of treatment Black people have to deal with in America, yet some folks want to know why we are so UPSET!
“This was moments after Philando Castile was shot & killed by police in front of his girlfriend & her 4 y/o daughter...
The first time I played against Michael Jordan he was on me light white on rice...
I asked him “Why are you defending me so tough (I thought somebody told him I said something about him)?
He said “I just want you to know why they consider me the best”!

I had dinner with the Legend Lenny Wilkens tonight, he told me he played 1/2 a year of high school basketball and got a scholarship to Providence University.
Also told me his first NBA contract was for $10,000 with a $2500 signing bonus!😳😳😳
Coach is 83👍🏾
My mother never attended one of my home games when I was in college and played for UW, she only made it to one game on the road vs Memphis. This was her first seeing my plaque in the
@UWAthletics
Hall of Fame, she smiled with pride when she saw my picture😊
I’ve never understood how Charles Barkley and Karl Malone won MVPs over Michael Jordan in his prime. Maybe the league just got tired of giving the award to him... IDK
Yall youngsters still think Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird are overrated and played against some Plumbers?
They would have NEVER lost a game in the

And I don’t wanna hear nothing bout the rest of the world is catching up!
How competitive was Michael Jordan?
During the 1997
@NBA
playoffs I tried to have a pregame conversation with Steve Kerr, who I had known since 1985 from our college days. He said he couldn’t “talk to me because Micheal didn’t allow fraternizing with the enemy”😳
True story
Back in the day we use to get

This is why I love

and think he is the best Color Commentator ever. Listen to him breakdown how
@ScottiePippen
got open in the
@chicagobulls
Triangle offense.
It’s frustrating to try and explain how good Jordan was to this younger generation. You would think when they hear some of the best ever like Magic and Bird say Jordan is the GOAT they would get it but...
Mike was just different, he had a SWAG I never saw before him or since...
I’ve NEVER seen a more mentally tough, physically talented, skilled, smart and competitive player on both ends than Michael Jordan.
There’s been some great offensive players but to be great on O and D and a Killa on both sides, the only one that comes close is Kobe!

teams featuring Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen when I was with the
@ATLHawks
and as great as Scottie was he wasn’t FEARED like Jordan.
Whenever Jordan went outta the game I thought we could win, until…..
I want to THANK
@OregonMBB
coach Dana Altman for being so kind and respectful to my mother when we attended shoot around yesterday.
Ducks Hoops Twitter make sure yall let coach know I REALLY appreciate it🙏🏾
Michael Penix Jr is a better passer than ALL of these guys, I’ve watched enough football in my 55 years to know that. Not sure how the Heisman voters couldn’t see that…
My main man Manny just got accepted into the University of Washington👊🏾👊🏾
This is no easy task for in state students as it has become extremely competitive.
So proud of ALL four of my kids: Sydney (

28 years in the marriage game this August the 14th. Met her outside the HUB on

campus in 1986. Chased her for 2 years and finally she gave in, 4 beautiful kids later we still kicking it❤️
UW Football has had some great QBs over the years from Sonny to Warren to Chandler to Conklin to Brunell to Billy Joe to Tui to the Huard’s to Cody but I haven’t seen nobody sling that thing like Michael Penix Jr.
Penix has to be one of the best throwers in

history!
Sad news this morning as I just received a text that Houston Rockets legend Robert Reid has passed away at the age of 68.
Robert was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. I called him the Black Magnum P.I. He was my coach in the CBA with the Yakima Sun Kings.
#RIP
I’d be lying if I told you when I see this it doesn’t feel GOOD, this feels GOOD😍

Except for the man he introduced today The Legend Lenny Wilkens.
Crawf gave an amazing speech👍🏾👍🏾
Once upon a time these two dudes use to go at it in Gill Coliseum when

Hard to believe this maybe the last time the two schools play each other🙁
FULL DISCLOSURE!
I almost quit
@UW_MBB
and dropped out of school in the 1987-88 season to return to New Orleans and take care of my mother who had an brain Aneurysm. The doctor told me back then that only 10% of the patients who suffered brain Aneurysms survived.
God is good❤️
Who would have EVER thought a poor kid born in 1967 in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans would one day have a kid graduate from

The great Connie Hawkins aka “The Hawk”!
Blackballed by the NBA. All my dad who would 79 year old now talked about when it came to basketball was Oscar Robertson and Connie Hawkins.
We need to give Connie Hawkins his flowers because he was Dr J before

With Bol Bol done for the season I have UW winning the Pac 12 regular season title, Mike Hopkins Coach of the Year again and Matisse Thybulle Defensive Player of the Year again. Jaylen Nowell definitely will be All Pac 12 and possibly Player of the Year.
Tonight was a first for me, I went to my son’s high school freshman game and they had no refs. So the home team’s coach reffed the first half. Then they were going to call the game at halftime because he couldn’t coach his team so I volunteered to ref the 2nd half of the game😊
As a 54 year old grown ass man if I could start over and be any
@NBA
player I would be
@JuliusErving
, even over Mike, his style and grace still makes me smile and want to play.
Definitely wish I could still grow out the Afro🙁
I decided to make me a sign and hit the PROTEST trail today that started at Othello Park and ended at the Safeway in the Rainier Beach area of South Seattle.
I think this is the best opportunity we will have to bring about change in America to combat Racism and Police Brutality!
How can a human being die at the hands of those who are suppose to protect and serve them for writing a bad check, selling illegal cigarettees, having a tail light out?
How can citizens kill a black male for walking with a Hoodie on and looking suspious...
Are these just coincidences?
I think not, America has painted a picture of the Black man as a threat and always guilty, regardless of whether he is innocent or not.
I’m 52 years old and all I’ve seen is murders and mistreatment of Black males by police for minor infractions.
Is it REALLY worth it for kids that aren’t in high school to be flying all over America for AAU Tournaments?
Nobody I played with in 6th grade got a college scholarship, some didn’t make the high school varsity team🤷🏾♂️
I had breakfast this morning with one of the greatest athletes in

The thing that tickles me is Draymond Green is a role player on a team talking like he’s the reason his team is winning.
Put him on a team without Currry and Klay like we saw a few years ago and he’s an average Joe.
Happy 60th Birthday to Michael Jordan, the best player I ever played against in my 8 years in the
@NBA
and the best I have ever seen.
His competitiveness, drive, fundamentals, skills and will to win were the best I have ever seen.
He could score 50 AND luck up yo best player 🙌🏾
Sad…
I don’t cry often over deaths outside of my family and loved ones but Willis Reed meant so much to little Black boys in Louisiana coming from little Grambling St University in rural Louisiana that I find myself shedding a few tears😢
