WE GOT FESTUS

Festus Ezili, who at age 15 handled a basketball for the first time and shot it into his own team’s net, is tonight a first-round draft pick…of the Golden State Warriors.

Every year I say I need to start paying attention to the NBA again. It never happens. That just changed. I got nothing but love for John Jenkins to ATL and Jeffrey Taylor to Charlotte (and I hope he does Kidd-Gilchrist in practice everyday like he did every game last season), but to have Fes in the Bay Area is unreal. For him too, I’m sure – his American home is Yuba City, near Sac – but I now have a guy from my school playing in the NBA in my town.

Wow. That just happened. I mean…wow.
