    This is actually very short, but it's better than nothing at all.

    Nice read. This line about his pedagogical approach is great:
    "From a basketball perspective, I teach them the joy of turning basketball into a science. For example, if you know about construction and engineering, if you want to do some remodeling and you have a load-bearing wall, you cannot move it. But when you have a column that’s not load-bearing, there’s lots of possibilities because it moves. So when we create a move in basketball, you make a player shift his weight to his load-bearing leg and then you attack that leg because now he cannot move. When I work with young players and see the expressions on their face, it’s a true joy for me. They realize that basketball is a science."

    Also, I've adopted another line as my new sig.

    I thought this was going to be about this guy:

    But I was pleasantly surprised with a nice Dream story. Thanks for sharing.

    That's what I thought too!

    It's a shame some idiots decide that his teaching is a scam, smh...
