Yes…we’re talking about “Bench Decorum” we all know about the infamous white shirt incident in Golden State. Today we clear the air and explain what this means and what to expect this coming season. Regardless of your occupation if you’re not having fun doing it you’re not going to win. You can see it on the faces and body language of opposing teams when they walk onto the court. Bringing a positive mindset leads to winning and at the end of the day regardless of how you contribute, winning matters. This upcoming season I’m prepared for the opportunity and when my name is called ill be ready!

It’s only right that we are talking about this stage of the race; “The College Edition” is here. School pride is real and when you’ve got a National Championship you really feel some type of way. Selecting a school that's best for you is far better than favoritism. N.C. A&T State University to The University of North Carolina we hear about the ups and downs from Theo and AJ. If there’s anything you take away from this episode, it's the friendships and relationships that you form in college that will last a lifetime!
