That's great, P! Next step, wow them with your insight and move into the Lakers organization.

your team im guessing?

whoops, yes

What!? Do tell...

It's a long story and I'm crazy busy until Friday. I'll tell you the full version of the story then.

On top of the NBA Cares thing, the Lakers sent us an assistant coach (permanently, or as "permanent" as you can be as a coach) to help out and help me to grow the program both on the court and financially. There's a potential Nike deal in the works too. It's been nuts, man.

In other words, Pete's abandoning those kids in hopes of holding a coaching position in the NBA!

Congrats!

Mad congrats. That's some next-level sh*t, P. I can't even imagine how your head must be buzzing with excitement.

Many of the Heat's players dropped weight this offseason, but Allen took the suggestion made by Pat Riley to the extreme.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra wasn't exaggerating at the beginning of training camp when he said Allen reinvented himself in the offseason. At 38 years old and with 17 years in the league, Allen worked himself down to 197 pounds, which is the lightest he has been since his days starring at the University of Connecticut.

1) I can. You think they want Kobe or LeBron's massive dome getting busted for HGH?

2) I wonder if they've actually checked out that German doctor. A few players have gone to him, and it's not like they've been surreptitious about it. You'd figure that if they were getting HGH from him, they'd keep their visits to him on the DL.
