Thanks Tayshaun

If you watched the playoff game tonight, you probably saw the play that Tayshaun Prince made to win the game for the Pistons. He blocked the weak ass breakaway layup that the Grampa Reggie threw up to tie the game. As you can see by my Bill Laimbeer picture, I am somewhat of a pistons fan. But the thing that made this great hustle play truly special in my heart was that it was Reggie Miller who got his shot blocked. Let me tell you a childhood story. I used to be one of the biggest Reggie Miller fans in the country. I had all kinds of Reggie Miller posters, Reggie Miller's authentic jersey, Reggie's allstar jersey, Reggie's game shoes, and over 100 Reggie Miller basketball cards. There was seriously something wrong with me. My dad knew how much of a fan I was so he tried to do something really cool for me. My dad knows Larry Brown who was the coach of the pacers when I was 13 years old. So when the pacers played the Bucks that year my dad talked to Larry and took me into the Pacers lockerroom. So I go into the locker room with my Miller jersey on, in search of my childhood hero. I go in there, and there he is walking towards me. I'm like "Reggie, Reggie" and My dads like "Reggie can you talk to my kids" and guess what. The asshole walks straight past us, and goes to the training table to get his scrawny ass stretched. He could have taken 20 seconds out of his time to at least give me and my brother a five and say whats up whiteboys. But no, he felt compelled to completely ignore us, like we were just some dogshit on the lockerroom floor. So, fuck Reggie Miller. Fuck him , he looks like a black Steve Buscemi without hair. (man, thats ugly) If he would have dunked that shit, instead laying up like a bitch, the pacers may have won tonight. Hey Reggie your time is up, retire pleeeease. I don't hold a grudge against this man, but it did hurt my feelings at the time. 9 years later, I am actually happy Reggie did ignore me. It taught me a lesson to treat all people with respect, especially kids. I will always talk to anybody that come up to me no matter who they are. I will make time to sign autographs for kids even if I am busy. My time is not that important that I need to completely disregard someones existence. It may be a pain in the ass, but if someone looks up to me, the least I can do is give them a few minutes of my time. That's what Bill Laimbeer would do.
One Love
