Please welcome Clav as our newest General Board Moderator!

Clav is too modest to toot his own horn but wow this man is amazing.

He was born in the snowy mountains of Ecuador in 1942, but is still somehow in his 20's and looking super fine.

Evidence:

Clav received an Einstein visa in the early 50's, came to the US and graduated from MIT at age 11, and went on to invent quantum physics. Max Planck ended up getting all the credit for that in 1900, but only because Clav went back in time and taught him the whole thing after the fact.

Clav then transitioned to athletics and defeated George Foreman 15 times to become the heavyweight boxing champion of the world. It's well known that Foreman named all of his kids George, but lesser known that their middle names are all Clav, as the result of a friendly wager between the gentlemen.

Later in life, Clav founded the companies Google and Chipotle. He is quite wealthy now but a man of the people and gives out free guacamole coupons to those who cross his path. Always with that incredible Ecuadorian smile that has become his trademark.

These days Clav writes music, spawning over 200 #1 hits for artists ranging from Taylor Swift to Insane Clown Posse. He is not a juggalo but does have many important thoughts about magnets.


And now his crowning achievement: Clav is our newest NBA General Board Moderator on RGM! Welcome to the team hooray!

He has been a mod of the GLeague forum but there's not much to do over there so we gave him more responsibilities for the same (no) pay haha.

I don't know who that is but I'm suddenly very angry that I can't add them to my foe list. This is a travesty that must be reported to the Mods.... Anyone know where @Clav is? I've gotta report something.

What an incredible journey from the snowy mountains of Ecuador to RealGM moderator - though I have to say, inventing quantum physics AND defeating George Foreman 15 times is quite the resume.

Your transition from G-League mod to the big leagues is well-deserved, and we're all excited to see you bring that trademark Ecuadorian smile to keeping the General Board in line.

Thanks for all your contributions to the community over the years, and congratulations on the promotion! Looking forward to seeing you in action (and maybe scoring one of those legendary free guacamole coupons).

I believe Clav is a musician, judging by the name I'm going to guess funk music?

Well besides completely fabricating my life story, I think I've found my ghost-writer to hyper inflate my accomplishments. Thanks bisme!

Thanks for the kind words though! From ....your newest crypt-keeper of the post-mortems to moderator. This is truly a great moment. I'd like to thank my family, friends, and everyone that worked so hard in my team - you guys are the best - I wouldn't be here without you! :lol:

Now yes, I was in the GL Forum as a mod but... it's nice and quiet, you can watch the paint dry in peace. Time to roll up my sleeves and put that unpaid internship to practice... if I had 200 #1 hits as a musician, which is my primary hobby, you might be able to see me in concert one day... I might have to quit this position so be careful!

Now let's talk basketball, agree to disagree on things respectfully, and have a nice weekend - and beyond.

See you all soon,

Cheers!
Cheers

Sure, I can do some funk - but I am more alternative rock, folk, classical, psychedelic genre. That being said, I am a sponge in terms of all genre to listen to.

The name comes from the word clavier - derived from Latin, German, and French for a keyboard, essentially a piano played with strings, sometimes like an harpsichord or other older version of the modern piano, but an amusing double-entendre as a username for me ;) [as a pianist, too]

The Well-Tempered Clavier - JS Bach, I'm sure you've heard this somewhere.
