    At least we know the B League can afford the high cost of paper, ink, envelopes, and postage.

    Finally back to Rod. And with the inevitable rejection letter. I have a feeling if the B League doesn’t want him the the NBA is also out of reach. Maybe that college coach that never heard of him can offer him a spot.

    Great cropping of the letter. “Unfortunately” and “was a tough” take up an entire line while the rest of sentences are “trimmed” so we have to figure out (rather easily" the message. BTW, wouldn’t letter be on 8 1/2 X 11 paper ????

    Yes, I’m sure that in 2024 the NBA and its other leagues contact prospects by snail mail.

    Gil finds out that Rodney’s dream of pro ball stateside is put on hold. GT reminds Rod of the connection at Milford JC. “My grades weren’t all that great” says Hot Rod. “There are more important things than grades” replies The GilFather. Like winning the caddy golf tournament.

    “Or you can catch the next container ship to SE Asia. They play basketball with kendo sticks.”

    Hard to believe that a decent but not great scorer on a podunk high school team who once hit a game winning shot got rejected by this pro (semi-pro?) team. Don’t they know he learned how to dunk? And speaking of dunks, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is a slam dunk.

    He must have stunk up the joint. They didn’t even feel the need to cut him in person.

    Rod can still go pro. The beer league at the YMCA needs players.

    Haha…that kid called him “chef”. Pretty observant, since that will be his new job a local fast food place.
