Full quote from the former Houston Rockets’ 2x NBA Champion, 2x NBA DPOTY, & 1x MVP:

“I think he plays all around — He moves. He drives on the floor. He shoots 3s. So he has adapted; he has adjusted his game to fit any style. He loves the post. If he gets a chance to post up, he finishes on both sides. And he shoots 3s, so he plays a complete game. He has good passing that he’s using at the top of the key to hand the ball over, and sometimes if his player overcommits, he drives. So he’s playing a very complete game that fits any style — it fits our era or this era. I think he finds a perfect balance between the old school and the new school.”

A great read into lea

Food Not Bombs, a volunteer group that feeds the homeless, was issued tickets by Houston police for distributing meals outside the Central Library in violation of a city ordinance. At the first trial for one of the volunteers, Phillip Picone, the jury found him not guilty. The city claims the ordinance is meant to connect homeless people with social services, while Food Not Bombs argues it violates their freedoms and rights. During the trial, the police officer testified that he issued the ticket but that he also likes feeding the homeless. In his closing argument, Picone's lawyer argued there was reasonable doubt since the group had been feeding people there for years with the city's permission. The jury unanimously found Picone not guilty, which his lawyer saw as confirmation of his faith in doing good for the poor.

Volunteers giving out free meals with the organization Food Not Bombs have wracked up 40 tickets seeking more than $10,000 in fines since March 1, four weeks before visitors began pouring into downtown for the Final Four.
