I am always on hustle mode, Just moments ago I crossed paths with the legendary NBA All-Star and former NY Knick @larryjohnsonnba who was gracious enough to give me a little of his time and a way to share @gaston_thomas88 and my work with him and his people. Crazy cool dude! by @wiseguy1212

I’m a week late with this post from last weekend’s celebration, celebrating another NCAA Tournament season for CBS. Drinks were on Charles Barkley. (Well, my pineapple juice was). Also the man of many talents: former NFL wide receiver, co-host of CBS Sunday Morning, host of Hollywood Squares, The NFL Today, (and several other gigs), Nate Burleson was in the house. I ended up missing most of Charles Barkley’s speech unfortunately. Two years ago Charles reminded me to have my Kobe Bryant poem I told him about emailed to him (through channels). After a couple attempts, this year I finally decided to print it out for him. Former NBA guard Wally Szczerbiak was very nice and was honored when I gave him a copy as well, telling me how much he loved Kobe, who “used to kill me when I played him.” In one of our pics Wally said “Hey, I should hold up your poem”, which was pretty cool of him. I also got to chop it up a little with legendary Public Enemy producer and member of the Bomb Squad, Keith Shocklee (not pictured).Another awesome (except for my alma mater St. John’s’ loss in the sweet 16) March Madness almost in the books!

Shout out to my SJU brother @bigship1 who I get to always reconnect with at CBS around this time of year! by @wiseguy1212

When I’m in Juice Generation I would often hear them bumping some old 80’s dope Hip Hop joints that you don’t often hear played commercially. Now I’m in Sweetgreen and to my surprise some Reflection Eternal starts bumping through the speakers!!! 🔥🔥🔥 (It was directly followed by some 70’s rock song).
