I tried to capture some of the highlights of our discussion at Booker T Washington High School for our reunion and homecoming weekend. I put the entire 2 hour panel on YouTube (it’s also in my bio under The Rematch) but this was such an amazing experience. It’s such a blessing to be able to come back to Booker T and speak to the students.

We poured into them the same way the OG’s used to come back and pour into us. I remember Wayman Tisdale, Lee Mayberry, John Starks, Richard Dumas, all coming back and talking to us in middle school and in high school, and we listened to every word they said. I still remember their key points. And again, this was a great group of students. They were locked in the whole time. I kept checking with them to see if we were going too long but they were tuned in. In fact, after the panel was over, they hung around to ask follow up questions. Maybe next time we should do break out sessions for the students who don’t want to necessarily speak in a big group. But this was really special. We shared our experiences, our mistakes, gave advice, listened to them, were honest with them, and they were so appreciative. Like my Mom always says, “When you’re blessed, you have to be a blessing to somebody else” 🙏🏾

Stepping away from basketball meant figuring out who she was without it.

Taleya shares the anxiety, isolation and uncertainty that came with rediscovering herself outside of her sport.

Her family, friends and faith reminded her that she had an identity and purpose beyond basketball.

Looking fwd to this panel at my alma mater Booker T Washington High School in Tulsa Oklahoma tomorrow. It’s our 30 year reunion (still can’t believe I’ve been out of high school for 30 years) but this is a free event that is open to the public. We spoke to a lot of coaches who are going to bring their students there which is great.

We did a panel last year for Booker T’s homecoming and it went really well so definitely had to do another one. I remember when guys like Wayman Tisdale, John Starks, Lee Mayberry, Clint McDdaniel, Richard Dumas etc etc would come back and speak to us when we were at Carver or Booker T and we listened to everything they said. They were honest with us. Told us about their mistakes, what they would change if they could go back, answered all of our questions, and encouraged us. They told us how they grew up right where we were growing up and told us that we could do anything we put our minds to. And we believed them.

That’s why I like to come back and speak to the students now. To pour into them the same way athletes came back and poured into us. It’s a blessing to be able to be a blessing so I’m definitely looking forward to it.

Again this is a free event that is open to the public but we are going to have all the students sit down in the chairs on the court.

Can’t wait

Special thanks to Fred Jones for all his help putting this together and getting all the clearances from all the powers that be.

A few of my favorite frames from Saturday’s Dream Team vs. Legends game at McLain High School, presented by Hoops and Partners.

From the dunks and competition to the smiles, young people and community moments, this was about much more than basketball. I enjoyed getting the opportunity to capture the action — and the moments in between.
