Straight Outta -- MY DREAMS

Straight Outta -- MY DREAMS

I share this photo as I still feel blessed to have found this wonderful spirit and I get to share my life with her.  I was single for many years, I did not settle, I knew what I was looking for, I like many others have had my heart crushed at a young age. I wasn't going to put myself through that hurt, and I wouldn't hurt anyone else.

I was married to my work, as I coached around the globe. I met many great people, but when my eyes met hers, the attraction was instant. The more time I spent with her, I realized how much we shared in common. The Values, the priorities, she was confident, she is very successful in her work, she was a great mom. I loved kids and fell in love with her daughter Whittney. Whittney, is just like her mom, she is fun, and full of life. Kim was into health and fitness. She has a huge heart. She is giving, loyal, and I could go on and on.

As the line in Jerry McGuire, "You complete me." She made me whole. She inspires me to want to continue to be the best. I am very proud of her. Kim has a great energy, she has beautiful green eyes and a smile that sparkles, her personality takes over a room. 

She puts up with me and all of my flaws and imperfections. She supports my dreams. She is the best thing to ever personally happen to me. She welcomed in our adopted son Brandon, she loves him as if she gave birth to him.

I say she is Outta a Dream, but she exceeds my Dreams. I know God has a plan. I feel our best years are ahead of us. I pray for many more years. 

I overachieved, this is one of those photos and you say, "What doesn't belong?" Well it is me, I am lucky and fortunate. She is my heart and soul. 

I struggle to sleep when I am away from her, I am used to her cuddled on my back and interlock our ankles as we sleep. I am the luckiest man alive. Thanks for allowing me to share my heart on this platform. There is a lot of BS on social media. I hope this photo and story inspires you to find your better half.  I feel more stories like this should be shared, it makes the world a better place.

Former NBA star Steph Marbury finds home in CHINA

Former. NBA star Steph Marbury find home in CHINA

As many of you are aware, I spent three years coaching then China.

After the CBA team in Utah folded for financial reasons, Donnie Nelson Jr. Of the Dallas Mavericks sent me to the other CBA, this time in China with JiLin Northeast Tigers and Gm former China NT standout the TigerKing.

It was so cold, It was way up north, near the Siberian border, I think only a few days it was even above freezing.

That success led to warmer climates in Dongquan in the south, in the city of Chang An and a Championship with the Parkview Snow Wolves.
It was only  few hours drive out of Hong Kong.

This is the only country that I needed a translator constantly.
The languages of Mandarin and Cantonese are very difficult for me to pick up, Just like  in the USA, the dialects are different in the north and south made it even more difficult.

The Country loves there basketball. Yes, there is alot of smog, over 300 million Baaketball players were registered in the country when I was there coaching . The food, well, they ate anything and everything, Picked Chicken feet, Camel hump, Rat kebabs, rice milk was popular.

But, Basketball was Big and growing. I had great experiences there. the players played and trained year around. The sports are under through the Government . They are a communist country.
I had to write up. Report for every practice and have it turned in for my checks.
I felt they were stealing, but then again, they paid my salary.

Anyway, former NBA star Steph Marbury has found a home in China, after his NBA career

Beside every good Man/Coach -there is a wonderful support system

Beside  every good Man/Coach- there is a wonderful support system
Kim Fields 

To stay with the Coaching theme, I wanted to share with you how important it is for for us to have a wonderful sport system. In any walk of life, in any profession, either gender, a positive support system is vital to success and happiness.
I am blessed I found a wonderful women to support me in my journey as a Professional Basketball Coach. Kim is a well respected and talented stylist in the Salt Lake Valley. This is as much about her as it is about me. She is a hardworking, independent and one of the best in her field. I am supportive of her and her profession. She travels to shows to stay current on the newest trends and fashions. She takes classes to always learn and grow. I am so proud of her.
The are so many adjectives I could share about her, she is beautiful inside and out. She is a wonderful mom, she is the first to GIVE. She is positive. She will put in an average of a 10 to 12 hr days to service her clients. She will not say No, and is always eager to help.

I am lucky I crossed paths with this wonderful spirit. I met her through her sister, who's husband played for me and we won a championship together in Lebanon. We had never met in person, I was introduced to her by her sister, she described her as "Just like me, a people person, outgoing, she was into fitness, I was told she did some fitness modeling. I thought to myself, how would I ever meet her? I was at a pool with Holly in Beirut when she was deceived to me. My family was all in Indiana, and I was in Florida between season near my grandparents.

Well, as fate would have it. I was going to the NBA summer leagues in Vegas and Salt Lake City to scout players for my team. I would watch sets, learn terminology, nepeta orl with coaches from around the globe and in the NBA. I spent 12 days in Vegas, I was in route to Salt Lake City. I asked Holly for Mim's number so I could introduce my self to her, as Paul would be in Salt Lake and I would workout with him prior to him going back to Lebanon for the National Team. he had to guard Yao Ming of China.

Paul and I would talk, I was eager to see the big fella, as any coach enjoys seeing his players in the off season. I was to meet Paul at the airport prior to the start of the Rocky Mountain Revue, the NBA summer league in Salt Lake City.

I get off of the flight, I come down to baggage claim. I am greeted by Paul, he picks me up Nd bear hugs me, I get. Tap on my shoulder, and I am thinking it will be Paul's wife Holly, I turn around and it was Kim. WOW ! I see beautiful green eyes, a super white smile, toned long legs in green mini skirt. A white blouse, tanned olive skin and my heart lepped out of my chest.

My life would change for the best, we would go to a great Italian restaurant, and we would stay up talking and getting to know each other until 4 am , then Get up and workout at 6:30am
I got to meet her daughter Whittney, she was full of like like her mom.

I enjoyed staying up talking all night long about everything, we shared so much in common, we had simaliar taste in music, in foods, in fitness, we were both professional , she was an awesome mom..

I had found my soulmate, my partner, my sidekick in this journey called life.
She is supportive of my ambitions, she supports my aspirations and dreams. It is not easy to be married to a Coach. We have long days, she understands the commitment, she understands the travel demands. She has come to visit me in China and Venezuela. She has done the AAU thing we me as I coached Brandon.

Kim is my Rock, she is my stability, she is my inspiration to continue to be better and share it all with her.
I am confident God has a plan and the best in life is yet to come. I am blessed to share this journey with you.

Kim is the best decision I have made in my life. She is my life partner.

It is so important to choose and marry wisely. Don't search your entire life looking for the perfect person, Find  the perfect person for you and love all the perfect imperfections about them. I am blessed she overlooks all of my imperfections.

I disagree with those who say behind every good man is a good women, I think it is BESIDE every good man is a patient  and sacrificing women.

2015 Team USA Mini Camp Roster- with questions and concerns

2015 Team USA Mini Camp Roster- with  questions and concerns

This is a roster of players invited to the 2015 Team USA mini camp In Vegas.

It is a healthy list of top players willing to represent our country in Basketball.

Look at the names on the list.

Jerry Colangelo does an outstanding job with USA Basketball, and he has restored the talent and pride back in our National Team, this after the embarrassing performance of past teams. His respect from the players and his vision to put the best players who have chemistry is not credited enough.

Coach K and his staff have prepared our talent to compete and represent the country with class, dignity and integrity. He manages the ego's well. He gets the team to sacrifice of themself to the betterment of Team. He is a great communicator, he identifies roles, and pushes the players to maximize their skill sets to get them to be a cohesive unit.

The players, you will recognize, might be in your top 20 list in the league, they might represent your favorite NBA team? 

Let's be honest, we as Amercans put more emphasis on the Olympic Games. When it comes to Basketball.

When the Basketball World put more emphasis on the World Championships. The Olympics are more commercial. So of course, More Money, more Exposure, More Endorsements and money to be made and items to be sold during Olympic Games.

Here is my question?  Here is my concern? If you own an NBA Team, and have a player on Contract, who is an asset to your Team and Community. Are you concerned your asset and key player takes a risk of injury and missing a Season in the NBA?

Two recent examples Indiana Pacers Paul George breaks his leg and misses the Season for the Pacers while playing with the National Team.

Just a few days ago, Dante Exum, of the Utah Jazz,  tears his ACL and will miss the 2015 Season for the Jazz. 

Ok, let's break it down. The NBA has an 82 game regular Season and it is a marathon.

Then Top NBA Teams who win the the NBA Playoffs, plays the best of seven series to advance to the next round. 

This is wear and tear on your body. Does this effect the longevity of a players career and the money he can make with an NBA Team?

This is the same as the AAU debate. these young kids playing all year around, it is wearing these players down and not allowing them to concentrate on skill development.

I am just throwing it out for debate.

I am eager to read your thoughts and opinions

Creed the Movie- Rocky 1000 (Movie clip attached)

Rocky vs Apollo (CREED the Movie)

Ok, I will admit, I am a HUGE fan of the Rocky Movies back in the day.

I have been in sports the majority of my life, This sports theme movie of course made Millions.

Rocky 1, Rocky 2, Rocky 3, Rocky 4. All great Movies, I will admit I dropped off on Rocky 5 and Rocky 6

I was at the drive in with my Aunt and Uncle when I saw Rocky 1 And 2, I was pumped, It was an inspirational story, the man just didn't quit, the under dog, he had heart, then in the rematch Rocky 2 , I loved it, he got up off of the mat first.

I was in high school when Rocky 3 came out, Rocky vs Clubber Lang, (Mr T) come on ! 

Clubber , Prediction "PAIN" Rocky-"GO FOR IT"  The soundtrack "Eye of the Tiger "

Rocky 4 vs the Russian, IVAN- East vs West, Old school training and workouts, vs the Steriods.

Appollo dies vs the Russian, Rocky fights in memory of Creed.

I felt it was at its best, I thought Sly should have stopped while he was on top

I am pumped up thinking about it...

I lost interest in Rocky 5, I think this is where Rocky trains the street fighter, blah blah

Rocky 6- ok ok ok, enough the franchise was saturated

But, now

CREED, the son of Apollo, the fighter

This might work? I am curious for the soundtrack, his movies always had good music.

Check out this trailer- Sylvester Stallone, Michael B Jordan

Pro Athletes purchase what with their $$$$$

Pro Athletes purchased what with their $$$$$$$$ 

Well, I am not in this financial Demograph.

But, I came across this interesting article that discusses what pro athletes purchase with the riches.

This is not quality content, but I found it interesting to see how the other half lives.

I hope you find this as entertaining as I did?


I do feel this opens up another discussion for the future and what should be done to assist these athletes make great investments.

**NEW Blake Griffin - Jordan brand commercial will be a CLASSIC

**NEW Blake Griffin - Jordan brand commercial will be a Classic

In the wake of all the talk about the SPACE JAM 2 talk with Lebron James

MJ who was in the original Soace Jam, took his brand and made a commercial that will be a classic, the Looney tune character Marvin has a show down dunk off vs Blake Briffin the NBA's dunk King.

This is all done , of course , to help promote, market and sale the new Jordan shoes.

It has all the feel of a old Jordan commercial
A new Mar's Blackman character.  Blake , now known as the best dunker in the league, like MJ in his era,  and yes, the SHOE
