My Hero. Its a shame that there aren’t many black players in the league anymore. Perhaps the season is too long, too many games. Not enough time to get mixed up in club fights, DUI’s, and random shootings.

Dontrelle Willis is really the only black star, Barry Bonds is on steroids and Jimmy Rollins is too busy running his mouth.
