On Thanksgiving Eve I linked up with one of my closest friends, Mike Simmons aka Smooth aka Folio Sims aka Carpaccio. Mike runs a basketball program in Miami called Pro Day Academy where he specializes in player development. He’s as good as anybody in the game at what he does. We talked about his struggles growing up in South Central LA and how that has influenced him as a father. We talked about our love for basketball and how it took him from the hood to running the point for the University of Miami, next to a couple of future NBA players. And of course I had to ask him about his days as a ladies man on campus at The U. Palmolive, beef carpaccio, incense, hors d'oeuvres, Schea Cotton, & more.
