Bro, you’re such a beautiful writer. It really feels like I’m playing ball when I’m reading. You really know how to shift between the story, stats, and song of a piece. Keep going.

Loved this piece! You're one of the few writers that really captures the magic of having a favorite player and watching them be in the moment.

If you haven't already, I would recommend watching some episodes of the 'Pivot' podcast because it usually has a segment where the guest talks about when they had to turn things around and take that second chance at life.

Carmelo Anthony's '7pm In Brooklyn' is similar in that regard but it's more about moments when people had to lock in and take charge of their life / careers

I appreciate your compliment, fr. I gotta tap in with 'Pivot'. I feel like I just barely missed that generation of NFL players. And yes, Melo's storytelling on '7pm In Brooklyn' is a must see.
