There are those who have been with me throughout my entire journey from the beginning, starting in the US. There are those who I have picked up on the way as I have traveled through (in and out) of Norway, Uruguay, Germany, and the ABA in the US. Then there are those who will learn to know and follow me as I continue my mission to become successful, to conquer all that stand in my way, to be the best. What does it mean to be the best? Does it mean being the biggest or the strongest? Does it mean being better than the man sitting beside me? Does it mean leading my team to a victory? Maybe. Being the best to me is using the ability that God gave me to the fullest. The ability to motivate, to defend, to dominate, to challenge, to support and to love. My journey has brought me to Araraquara, Brazil, it is this place that I will continue to work on being the best, making my team Lupo Araraquara the best. The season has already started and we are (5-8) in 10th place, one game out of the playoffs with 11 games to go. My goal for this season is for us to make the playoffs and possibly become Champions. I hope that if you are reading this, that means you are with me on this new journey. Are you with me?
