My friend Brad was a bellman at the Pfister in the late 90s, early 2000s, and @MarkJackson13 came down in the middle of the night at the Pfister saying he saw a ghost walk thru the wall and asked for a different room.
All NBA teams stay at Milwaukee's Pfister Hotel.
Well, here I am 5yts later, coaching basketball #breakthroughsports and sharing my @StephenCurry30 signed basketball with each young athlete who attends the camps.
Paying it forward, one young athlete at a time.

"WE WANT MARK"
ββ The Garden crowd as St John's star Mark Jackson dropped in the draft on this day in 1987
Knicks indeed grabbed him at 18
1st year averaged 13.6p/10.6a/2.5st
Knicks made playoffs 1st time in 4 years
Lowest-drafted Rookie of the Year in 30 years
Rick Pitino:
1. Leads St John's to the Big East final at the Garden
2. Puts on the puffer
3. Hangs with Walter Berry and Mark Jackson
Possibly the most New York Basketball tweet ever
For @MarkJackson13 there is no debate, Patrick Ewing stands alone.
As the franchiseβs all-time leader in points, rebounds, and blocks, Ewing anchored an era and defined Knicks basketball for a generation.
Belief changes everything.
@MarkJackson13 credits his first pro coach, Rick Pitino, for giving him the foundation to succeed - instilling confidence, letting him play through mistakes, and shaping the mindset that fueled a 17-year career.
That same philosophy carried into his coaching, where he helped @StephenCurry30, @KlayThompson, @Money23Green, and others believe in their greatness.
A word of trust, a moment of faith, sometimes thatβs all it takes to birth something historic.
Presents: @MarkJackson13 - State champion Bishop Loughlin of Brooklyn taught North Baby-lon, the stateβs Class A titlist, a lesson about transition basket-ball, posting a 102-89 victory to win the state championship.
