Another breakthrough is coming.

NBA MVT

Season 3: Be Water

Season 3.

What a journey it's been, already. __________ To review:  I don't really remember what happened, in Seasons 1 and 2.

I joined a rec league.

Then I tried to average a double-double, in that rec league.

Which was difficult -- because it meant I had to count my own stats, as I was playing.

Which may be possible -- but it pretty much eliminates any chance I have of being a good teammate. __________ Hmm.

Is that true?  I don't know.  Because the more I play, the more I realize -- if there's a player on your team that can rebound, score, and not turn the ball over...

that's a pretty damn good teammate.

So really, I don't think I should worry about whether I count my stats, or not.

Maybe just rebounds and assists.  Since the new league I'm in has a scorekeeper.  (and since I don't score much...so why share those numbers?)

__________ __________ Oh yeah.  Let's do this.  Let's dig in:

I don't score much, in this new league.  It's a higher level of competition, and I don't look to score, the same way I did in my Season 2 league.

Well, actually, that's not true.

I didn't look to score, in this new league.  Until 

Butterfly Starfish came to her first game, a few weeks ago. __________ I don't think I scored much, in that game.  Just two points, that I remember.

Last week, I scored 5 points, and played well.  

This week, I don't think I scored one point.  

Yeah.  Scoreless.  As the starting center.

There's no way to hide from a zero.  

0

Those stand out. __________ You know what's exciting, though?

I feel close.

Close to breaking through.

Close to getting to a level of basketball, I've never gotten to before. __________ There are things to do, when I feel this close to a next level. There are ways to push past the temptation to stay comfortable There are ways to make my own, personal history

One of them? The first one of them? Start documenting the story.

So that when you shock the world, --or even just the world around you--

people have somewhere they can go,

and know how easy it will be,

for them to do it, next.

Go Cleveland. Go Ohio. Go middle America.

That's what I learned this season.

The season isn't over.

But this blog is about to be.

I've been working with L, these past two days.

And we had a great day of work today.

I was presnow,

and got a lot out of it.

Time to take that everywhere else.

My phone mistakenly posted a "Comedy Hajj" post to this blog.

But I think I can read the message, 

loud and clear.

The Universe wants me to be more disciplined.

And because I am recording my next special on

that needs to start right. Prez.  Now.

Time to shower.

Love you,

I'm not ready to play in the NBA yet.  I'm not disciplined enough)
