DA is the best

There’s not a better NBA mind than Aldridge.

How I Start my Day

Every weekday morning, I wake up at 7:30 am, walk to the bathroom and tell my unnamed virtual assistant to “play the newest episode of The NBA Show.”

Wether we are Tampering, hanging with the basketbuds or having a lil shoot around of the league with Slam and Jam, I know I have 30 minutes to 2 hours worth of basketball to get my brain working.

My only fear now, is the loss of Al on Slam and Jam. It’s a good thing I love Katz, because a lesser substitute may have begun a revolution.
