This was a great reminder of the weight and struggle that so many of us (maybe all of us) have to carry.

Great post from Nick. I hope he can make basketball his refuge and just kill it.

Is that referring to the NCAA stuff or his crazy ex wife stuff.

Those two things converged on him and were interrelated

I don't remember seeing that. I hope he got trashed here.

Not saying she is in the right, but I just don’t know her side. I have been
