Thanks for taking my call.
Sure.
Yeah, this goes back to 1993, the summer I graduated high school when I was a camp counselor at a basketball camp in Lake Forest.
Apparently, Stacy King was one of the friends with one of the other counselors there, and
He ended up showing up for an open run and I got this witness firsthand what a NBA player looks like pretty much in front of my eyes.
It was the most impressive thing I've ever seen with my own eyes.
And the best part was, is he hung out probably I'd say for about an hour and a half afterwards and answered every single question, including the ones of the obvious, what it was like to play with MJ and then proceeded to look at me.
and asked me if it was past my curfew.
It was awesome.
The most serious one they did on me, they sent me out to get some chicken after a basketball game, knowing that we only had 30 minutes to catch a late night flight.
You know, he got lost.
We sent him out for some chicken.
To bring on the plane, we had chartered a flight and he didn't get there.
We waited for about an hour and a half and he still didn't get there.
I think Bill passed that order down.
He's the oldest vet on the team and he had Stacy go get some chicken and he missed the plane and there was some expensive chicken.
I was stuck with two big buckets full of chicken, no players to eat it with, and wound up throwing it all away.
I caught a flight the next morning to Atlanta.
I wind up getting fined and chastised by all the players.
They tease me still today about it.
