    Caught him at a sports bar eating and watching the Northwestern/Vanderbilt game with other Northwestern fans (his wife was there too). I've talked to him before at a Heat game when I was sitting a few rows behind him. Super nice dude. He's usually more stressed at the games but looks like he's enjoying himself this off-season.

    We talked about his expectations for this season and he says there's a lot of excitement, a lot young guys on the team now. Thinks we could make the playoffs this upcoming season or outside looking in again.

    I asked him how he feels about the Jeremys and he was excited. My buddy asked about Royce White's OCD and fear of flights but Morey doesn't really think it'll be a problem at all.

    Also talked about the Scott Machado signing and I told him it's a good pick up and how he leads the NCAA in assists, but he's erring on the side of caution and said it was nice but it doesn't necessarily mean it'll translate well to the NBA.

    Seems like he wanted to talk more (so did I) but I didn't want to bother him too much. Would love to have dinner with him >___>.

    Anyways, Morey is awesome.

    inb4 "are there two jeremy lins?"

    I bet he thinks you're LOF status. Is he a beer and a shot type of guy or what?

    Nice. Did you mention that he was undrafted and played for our summer league team, too? :p

    I kid. Nice story, sounds like a cool experience.
