My school was 90 percent white, but 90 percent of the kids I played with were black. So I got the best of both worlds. I think that is where my comedy developed.
I mean, I'm very serious with my kids about them comprehending the intricacies of global finance.
I've always been the goofy kid. Growing up, I always enjoyed the comedic aspect of relating to women. Even on camera, it was always the funny take on it.
The big thing I tell my kids is you have to control how you label things. It's very important to me they understand the power they have to create the lives that they want.
There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?
We just played hard and you can't give to anything else except for the kids and their heart. We started getting some open looks and then making threes.
We lost early in the season ? Northwest and Northeast both beat us by one ? and our only district loss was to Nashville Christian, and it was the worst we hit the ball all season. We're coming along and the kids are playing with a lot of confidence and that's what we need.
We got real bright, colorful books that were some of the kids' favorites. Many of these kids don't have any books (of their own) at home. The earlier we can expose them to literature, the better. Getting them exposed to literature at an early age is probably the best thing we can do and what better way than to put one in their hands.
There's always been that in baseball. You have different people that see different things. Some people grade it tough and some people are very lean. That's why you see some kids hitting.600 and some hitting.300. Some people go by Major League Baseball that if it's close it's an error. Some people say if they put the bat on the ball it's a hit.
It was a lot harder than that. That was a tough ball game. Some of our kids stepped up and hit some big free throws at the end.
It was a little too much Blaine Howell and a little too much A.C. Reynolds tonight. We played a little bit timid or nervous or scared or what you want to call it. I was a little disappointed in the way our kids performed. But there were some things that we can learn from, some things that we can do better and hopefully improve upon before the season is over.
They also work with kids who aren't necessarily expected to live into adulthood. Necessarily is an important word.
Right now, we have about eight kids who could say they're the person to start or be in the game. Sure, everybody wants to start, but I keep telling them to play team basketball. It doesn't matter who starts, it matters who finishes. That's what I would want to do.
Bret Harte stuck it to us last year. We learned a lesson. Our kids are looking forward to playing them again.
