I’ve known and of course read @ThompsonScribe pretty much since he started in the business, witnessed/admired his star rise, maybe most cheered on his recent mentorship of another star riser @nathancanilao. That said, I’ve never read a more insightful, entertaining, spot on, truly original piece than this. As a lifelong Lakers/NBA fan, my interest of course was keen, but this goes beyond level of insight, creativity, authenticity only he could go. Well beyond NBA spectrum/landscape. Honestly, this is Pulitzer material and of course highly recommend for all to read. Needless to say, Steve Herendeen and your Oakland Tribune co-workers/readers would be beyond proud to read. I’m personally in awe. Well done x 💯!
