eh..thanks for unmasking my true identity uncommonclay


Thanks also to everyone for reading it and for your comments as well not just here but everywhere else folks have made comments about my writing. I very much appreciate it.

For this story I give the credit to Lisa Leslie - she gave me a lot to work with to get a slant for a story. I had first met her when USA Basketball worked out @ Stanford in 1995 so it did feel like deja vu for me and Lisa was also in a nostalgic mood so I had good material to draw from.

Thanks also to GeorgeofSacramento who gave me an assist on quotes since we made tag team appearances at the practices, and I wasn't able to get to all the players I wanted to talk to the night I went. He did a great job getting me what I needed to finish where Lisa had directed my story without actually knowing it because I hadn't started writing it yet and I had simply given him a list of players to talk to if he could once he got all his photographic obligations done. Thanks again George

Thanks for the mention, but it was YOUR writing that put it all together.

Speaking of the photo obligations, here they are.

They're usually both pretty intense on their jobs and very busy...

But I did catch this snap of them both with Ardrian. Don't let it get out.

Be careful what you wish for.....

Despite the fact that I'm now surely headed into a witness protection program tomorrow...

That's pretty damn funny! One of us or both of us were obviously incredibly careless in protecting our respective identities that day. I usually wear a pixelated face while KB wears the blue dot when we're out in public together.
