It was 2001 and I was sitting in Level One Barber Shop in Raleigh, NC with a couple of friends and the owner of the shop. I got a call from one of my old basketball teammates named Anthony Bird Anderson. I have something that I know you need. You gave it to me, and I told you I would keep it for you. I know you don't have it. It had been years since I had seen him and I had no idea what he was talking about.

Minutes later he pulled up to the shop and handed me a picture. You would have thought he handed me a ghost. It was a picture of me and The Goat at New Bern Sr. High School. I reflected on December 19, 1980. The roar of the crowd was deafening, and they stormed the court after we had defeated Laney.

I could also hear God's whisper, write the book. It was the voice that I had heard over the years employing me to act. Anthony's voice broke me out of my trance. You okay, he asked? I said yes, but deep inside I knew I wasn't. But it was at that moment that I began a journey and while it had taken me years to finish the assignment, I did it. When I stopped making it about me and started making it about God's Message Underneath The Basket, I was able to finish it. I was able to complete the assignment. Lord, I thank you, you're the Father I never had.
