So I did the thing we all do when we don't know what to do.
I Googled it, and I found the public relations emails for every NBA team, and I just started emailing them one by one saying, hey,
You got a bunch of fans across the city that are afraid to fail.
I don't think they should be.

My name's Ryan Leak.
I'm 6'3", 205 pounds, looking for failure.
And I had sinned.
It felt illegal.
I was like, Ryan, what are you doing?
This is crazy.
