The league is changing, and we don’t have many back-to-the-basket players. We now have a game that requires skill and versatility. A lot of that is about being able to think.

I did vote to defund the Obama program that defers deporting the so-called DREAMers, because that was the president’s decision, and the president shouldn’t unilaterally get to decide what laws to enforce or not enforce. – Blake Farenthold
