Back to the team party in the basement. I found out about this story through my mom who found out about it through another parent but it goes that one of the freshmen on the team had never had a sip of alcohol before and I could tell he was a bit nervous being at a party with a bunch of seniors. I pounded a bud light and handed him the empty can. Apparently, I told him “just hold this and nobody will question you.” The kid did have potential so I didn’t want him getting caught up in drinking as I had. Again I’m not making this up, my mom still to this day chokes up about it. It’s probably one of the proudest things I can recall from when I was just Stumbling Along through life. Well, scratch that, besides my playing days,
I hope all of you that read me out until the end didn’t think I was going to make myself out to be some basketball star because truthfully I wasn’t that much more than a role player.
