No Shame in Your Game
As a kid, basketball was everything to me. It kept me out of mischief. It taught me discipline and teamwork. It saved my life. I mean that sincerely. When I was thirteen, a Cobra walked up to me and asked, “Yo, you wanna be a Cobra?” No, a reptile didn’t walk up to me asking if I wanted to transform into a different species. Although, that life would be interesting. It would give sliding into the DM a whole new meaning. The Cobras were the gang in my neighborhood. Their hats were cocked to the right and they rocked black and green clothes. Wait it just hit me, these fools were Slytherin like before Harry Potter became popular! Knowing what I know now I should of hit him with that wingardium leviosa! Instead, my quick reply to his invitation was, “Nah, I just wanna hoop.” This moment wasn’t like an after school special. He didn’t say, “Join us or you’re dead!” He did say, “Word. Keep doing your thing, kid. We got your back.” Basketball was everything to me. It saved my life. And I’m not the only one, in this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with someone who feels the same way. Pat Chambers, former men’s basketball coach at Penn State University. When Pat and I met he was unsure about his future in basketball, on this week's episode we will talk about his ascent to top tier Big Ten coach, descent from glory and his vision to resurrect his dream of being an NCAA men’s basketball coach. Follow Us on Instagram at @futurewithlove
