During Bob Bowman’s introductory presser earlier, Texas AD Chris Del Conte referenced Booker T. Justice, which is a very normal thing to do.
I’ve been here all of nine weeks, and Del Conte is already proving to be 1 of 1. – 3:09 PM

Shared my thoughts on the Jontay Porter investigation in the latest Raptors in 7. Also a bit about the 17yr anniversary of the Mo Pete shot against the Wizards and the underrated sliding doors moment it created.
