Imagine if Lebron or Amar’e weren’t allowed to play in the NBA because of their past until they were 29 years old. That’s the Hawk’s life in one sentence.

I showed this spot to the bodyguards of Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire while we were waiting for them inside the back of a bus at the Olympic trials. I remember tears just flowing from behind their sunglasses and hitting their jeans as they watched. The Hawk took them back to what the game used to be like.

I also was able to present this to Connie Hawkins himself on his birthday. He watched it 3 times with headphones on. The first time he viewed it he laughed, the second his eyes filled with tears, and after the third viewing he looked up and thanked me.
