I’m sorry all the psyops to make people hate him failed badly. He’s cool as fuck, cares about the game, isn’t an asshole off the court, and does cool mob boss shit like tell his vet bench warmers to hard foul players
He’s 1 of 1 and I couldn’t care less what contrarians say
Hello everyone! I just wanted to address some things about my stay in Detroit as I've seen some wild theories out there.
Visiting Detroit is extremely costly. It cost me around USD 3k for the flights alone! I paid for most of the food I had (excluding a few times like when the Dearborn mayor showed me around). I eat tons as you've seen so that's again a lot of money. The collaboration instagram posts with restaurants and Detroit accounts like Greektown, Dearborn, Riverwalk, DIA etc were to help promote and highlight various areas in Detroit, mostly requested collab from them and were definitely not paid for at all.
The only paid collaboration I had during my visit was with Sam Bernstein - because they offered to pay for my hotel during my visit. (and a signed Cade jersey, I probably would've done collab posts just for that alone lol)
I have a pretty regular job here in Korea. I constantly save my money just to visit Detroit and spend my savings away there. It's my passion and I love every moment of doing it, although I know it's not the smartest way of managing my finances.
So yeah, I just wanted to get that off my chest. I'm no sleeper agent, industry plant, looking to steal your culture, or someone looking to profit off my fame. I did get some special treatment from teams and I understand if some of you are frustrated at that - I also agree that local fans need as much love. I'm not saying that you should like me, but I just want you to know I'm human too so I do get hurt by hateful comments. I just wanted you to understand I'm just a fan of the city like you and it just happens that I live 7,000 miles away.
I love Detroit, and can't wait to be back!

Not the splashiest offseason but I still feel really good about this team
The last time we were home to a WNBA team (Detroit Shock) we ranked top five in attendance for five straight seasons, No. 1 in attendance for three straight seasons and set a single-game attendance record of 22,076 fans at Game 3 of the 2003 WNBA Finals.
Additionally more than 775,000 people were excited to come to Detroit for the 2024 NFL draft. Detroit is a sports town. We’re sure we’ll see the same excitement for the WNBA returning.
