Why was that? I remember a lot of kids in elementary school saying BJ Armstrong was their favorite Bulls player.

I don’t know. I think it was him being short and having a baby face. He looked like a little kid out there lol

Didn't he also represent Antoine Wright that first year? I think they sold the Kings on how important it is to get your Pooh Wright on the floor...

What the heck is basketball engagement? lol.

Getting fans through the gates?

Getting fans through the gates?

I'm pretty sure they got that title off of google AI. Imagine what the presidents duties are.

What the heck is basketball engagement? lol.

If there are any fans that want to propose to their significant other during halftime, he's in charge of that.

In one of the initial reports from 2022, Jason Anderson opines that "He (Gentry) will assist with player evaluation and advise on team building strategy. He will have an office in Sacramento, but will travel to NBA, G League and college sites."

My guess was off the mark, but the actual description is obscure. In this case, he traveled to see the ping-pong balls bounce away.

It would have been nice to see them bounce East instead of the top two going West once again.
