He’s a 2 time NBA All Star and a franchise player for the team who was the favorite to win last year’s NBA Championship. I don’t need to reiterate the basketball accolades of PaulStar.

DetailsGrowing up in Indy, we were conditioned by our surroundings to stay close with the groups we grew up with. We still call each other the North Central kids, the Carmel kids, the Cathedral kids. Rarely did anyone go outside of their comfort zone, because there was no reason to… you had multiple middle schools feeding into a high school, and a whole new array of people to get to know. As one who has been able to break the mold, it’s time I gave props to my new patna dem.
DetailsI would bet my top and bottom dollar that when most humans cultivated a vision of their future as children, they wanted to do something big, and when I say big, I am talking Pinky and the Brain type big. Our younger selves saw the world as a blank canvas that was waiting on us…
