Love the SI cover. The story of KG
and Russell through the playoffs was top of the
line.
As noted in an earlier post, Grandpa Celtic,

four on one or three on two. I want
them to go right. I need to get them thinking. I fake directly toward them with my head, and with my left arm extended, pointed straight toward their chest. I keep my weight ...
Just a little something to spark up some
