Jason Kidd is a true champion.

So I’m running (very slow) in the Hamptons yesterday in 100 degree weather and a Black SUV passes by. Then it backs up and the tinted window opens and Jason Kidd screams, “What are you doing you crazy man?? It’s too hot for that!” We laugh, but I acknowledge that coming from a world class athlete it was probably advice I needed to heed.

Then the back window opens and one of the most beautiful women on the planet is revealed and she’s holding a beautiful baby and laughing hysterically, “We don’t wanna have to drive by here and see your ass lying by the side of the road.”

I’m marveling at the beautiful baby when I notice a rock the size of a basketball on her finger. I said, “Wow Jason, you outdid yourself!” And then I shared with one of my favorite inspirations from basketball, “Oh yeah n*gga I was so happy for you getting your ring. You have always been a selfless hard working champion for your teams and now you got what you well deserved. A ring. That’s some inspiring shit.”

Any how I got a nice break from running and fuel from their happy loving spirits to make it three miles (for my no runnning ass, a record!). God bless Jason, Porschla and their beautiful baby.
