Dear John 

Post#1 » by Chocolate City Jordanaire » Tue Jul 24, 2018 10:13 pm

....Wall.

I am just a fan of the Washington basketball franchise that used to be known as the Bullets back in 1972. I was blessed . My father at that time was present and he took me to a basketball game. I remember this big man named Wes Unseld. The year might have been 1973-- I was about 11 or 12 years old.

I like the Bullets but my real team was the Maryland Terrapins. I remember much better going to Cole Field House to see this team that had this player named John Lucas. Other players on that team were named Moe Howard, Len Elmore, Tom McMillan, Jap Trimble, (don't think he's related to Melo but you never know), and my favorite player of all was this guy named Jim O'Brien. He had hair and he looked a little bit like Bozo the Clown but he could ball.

Most of my childhood I grew up wanting to be able to beat my dad down because of the way he related to my mother. She had a drinking issue that seems to get worse when he was not at home.

Nobody cares about my life except the people who do care. I've been on this message board for about 17 years. My real name is Ken Holmes.

Kevin Broome is a friend of mine. Unlike autocorrect I know how to spell his name correctly. I've also met Monte Stewart, but that's not his real name. I've also met Fisher cob but that's not his real name. And one of the dudes that used to moderate on here is also on Twitter now.

I don't want to be like Stephen A Smith. I don't want to be like Jalen Rose. They get paid to give analysis and entertainment and sometimes they criticize athletes but they know a lot more than we do because they have contacts on the inside

I met Leonard Bias. I knew another Maryland Terrapin back in the day who is related to a former Wizards player. Well actually just player played for the bullets. Forgive me for not correcting my auto-correct cuz I'm in a hurry right now.

I also knew Greg Ballard's family because they went to our church back in the day. My mom passed in 2002. Greg Ballard has since passed as well. So has Leonard bias.

I have been accused of hating you for so long I figured I may as well let people know who I am.

If I were in your place I would look at it as just one person's opinion when a fan writes really negative stuff. Much of it is incorrect. Some of it hate or at least seems that way.

None of it matters.

From one man to another I hope you succeed in life and as a basketball player.

I'm saying he loved me Because by the year 2000 he could tell me that himself.) I remember this big man named Wes Unseld. The year might have been 1973 but I was about 11 or 12 years old.

My dad died in 2014. Martha Stewart can tell you where he's buried. How autocorrect made that Martha I have no clue. Monty with an e not a y.

I would not say anything behind a person's back that I wouldn't to her or his face.

I would also say as a person who God is not finished with I get it wrong a bunch. Please forgive me when I offend and don't be afraid to tell me how.

Peace and love to you all

Dear John,

I wrote you but still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, **** it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her?
I'm a name her Bonnie
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground **** that you did with Skam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the **** you did with Rawkus too, that **** was fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan

I dance better than either one of them.

I used to be shy as a kid... not anymore. I have the Zumba instructor trying to get me to dance with her class and some other things I won't put here on real GM.

You are about 4 years older than me. We were blessed to have those Maryland and Bullets teams to root for. Great teams, players, and entertaining as hell. Orioles and Redskins were great and fun in 70’s as well!
