We have talked about it before, the randomness of showing up and never knowing where the path will take you…or sometimes wondering about the “why” of where I am and how did I get to a particular spot. As the semester started we talked to our students about having the courage and the curiosity to …
When I was with the Knicks and the Sixers you travelled to “Detroit” for road games, but you never went to Detroit. You went to Auburn Hills, where the team played. Motown? Miles away never to be seen. The city has undergone quite a renaissance since my NBA road days, and I have always wanted …

Maybe it’s because we close in on the most profound day of loss for so many of us…September 11…that we notice these things more. …
