The game of basketball starts at a young age with fundamentals. I’ve been around a gym since I could crawl, and I have the watched the greatest teachers in the country teach the game. The head coach of the Pontiac 66ers, Coach Robinson, is one of the best teachers in the game. The Pontiac 66ers won yesterday, led by Jake Anderson 34 points and by Jefferson’s high flying dunks. But, at the end of the day it’s about giving back, and fundamentals. I love to see kids in the gym, learning the game the right way. Yesterday I met some great people. The St Louis assistant coach was telling me about coaching the Globetrotters for 2 years.  One of the officials used to ref in the NBA. More importantly, the fans came out in record crowd to watch great basketball. At the end of the day, all I can say thanks to the greatest fans in the world.
