I am not a quick student. My university b-ball profession finished practically quicker than it started. Mentor Anderson called me into his office.

"Well, OK mentor reveal to me more!" Then I heard the word you would prefer not to hear. You know "THE WORD," "Yet… "

My heart sank. I am certain all the shading cleaned out of my face. "Be that as it may, what," I thought? "You are not enormous, yet you are moderate," he said. There is was.
