Yet, here I am on the night of Monday, September 22 2014, scrolling through Facebook, passing black and white picture after black and white picture as a tribute to the Saigon Heat Coach Jason Rabedeaux who had passed away earlier in the day.

“Killer instinct” is a rare quality in the beautiful game of basketball. That is why it is always blurted out by commentators about certain players.

In a perfect universe, Leonidez Avenido is a follower of this blog page. He will have noticed from the last blog post that he was mentioned only once merely as “The Other Star”. He would have felt offended and fired up that this blogger should know more about him, more than worthy of just one single forgettable mention.
