But before we bring in Eric, let's bring in Steve Alexander.

Kind of think if I did it for all 30 teams,

you might have a story for all 30 teams but before we dig into the gory

reality of this nets team do you have any dock gets shoes from any Brooklyn nets

players stories before we go here well Darry Darrell Dawkins was the big one. I think he was with the

nets when I when he gave me his shoes but a long story short on that one,

Darrell Dawkins got off the elevator in Indianapolis

and I said, hey, Darrell, big fan,

do you think I could get your shoes after game?

I think I was 14 years old.

And he's like, man, I wish, but somebody stole all my shit.

And I was like, what do you mean?

He's like, somebody stole my bag. It's not on the plane.

I don't have a uniform. I don't have shoes. I don't have anything.

I was like, what are you going to do? He's like, I don't know, man do? He's like first thing I got to do is find shoes. He goes is there a shoe store around here? It's just being Darrell and I said yeah there's one across the street in the mall. he's like let's go.
