Media credentials confirmed.
I do write about not only UCLA basketball here, but USC basketball, Pac-12 basketball, NCAA basketball, NBA basketball and... high school basketball.
It's all about the ballers.
It's not about the school.
For me.
I am a HUGE UCLA basketball fan.
But I'm a bigger fan of human beings, ballers or not.
But I only have so much time in my life.
Especially with advanced CAD.
Cardiologist told me more than 5 years ago that if I lived another 10 years, I should consider myself "very lucky."
So, I do what I can.
And I love my life.
And I love basketball.
Especially high school basketball.
My favorite moment at any game?
I'm at a high school game.
One of the starters is a SR.
No one's recruiting him for basketball.
He's 6-0 180 and slow.
Or he's 6-2 175 and "just an athlete."
He's averaging 4.8 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 3.4 APG, 1.4 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 0.0 TOPG in 22.8 MPG and has never taken a bad shot in his life.
Unless he takes an outside shot.
He can't shoot from 3.
So everyone tells him.
No matter how perfect his form is in practice.
So he's never actually shot one in a game.
His team is down 62-60.
His team has last possession.
Everyone else panics and since he's the SR, he gets the ball from 3 and he lets it fly without even thinking about it.
For some reason, the crowd goes crazy when it's nothing but net.
No, he never plays basketball in college except maybe as a walk-on at San Jose State or UCSD or Rice or San Diego State. Or Yale.
Who cares how many stars he gets from a scouting service?
I've actually witnessed said event 146 times.
I've lived a wonderful life.
And will continue doing so until I die.
After which, I won't care.
Since I'll be dead.
I would like to be left exposed in the Altai Mountains, which is no doubt where Temujin, "Ghengis Khan," died... there is no secret grave, but Mongolia makes more tourist dollars off that inside joke than from everything else combined.
But I'm no Man of Iron.
And I don't know if "being left for eaters of the dead" is legal in the US.
I'll figure it out.
Of course, my retinas, lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, thyroid glands, bone marrow, stem cells, brain and anything else of interest has already been donated to UCLA.
Per an express contract and as confirmed by my trust and will (it's a pour-over will).
The rest of non-human world will have to be satisfied with the rest of me.
If it's legal.
Otherwise, I'll burn as cheaply as possible so long as that doesn't involve Carbon emissions and my ashes will be scattered in the closest pile of dirt that a close friend can find...
