but, i think the fact that he can write at all, and on subjects other than sports, is a shock to people....because he's a black athlete. actually, you know what....heavy emphasis on ATHLETE. people just think athletes are dumb, dogg. period.

he's clearly a very good writer. i'm just saying if bill russell had written it, i wouldn't have been shocked.

or bob gibson
or coach thompson
or the big o
or dave bing


old black men just do not surprise me with the depth and scope of their interest and the displays of their wit and intelligence.

this simply isn't a surprise, dogg.

now, SPREE? oh, i'd be partying.
