Best part:

He said he didn’t need long to decide against entering the transfer portal.

Why, though? Still sitting in Gampel, Johnson raised both arms out to his sides and looked around the building, then back to the questioner with an expression as if to say, ‘Are you crazy?’”

“It’s the basketball capital of the world,” Johnson said.

This link works, and if you have even a passing interest in the back story and personality of our players, the article is very much worth reading.

PS - I subscribed last week for 6 months for 99¢, and pretty seamlessly sent this as a gifted article to my sister.

The quality of our staff and the recruits they zero in on are phenomenal. It's no wonder they all shine so brightly. As a fan I have never been happier at what I see.

Props to Mike Anthony for a really well-written and in-depth article, and for giving us all a look at what sort of person Samson is. Huge X factor this year and he is powering his way thru it.
