Ill Faith…could that be a thing, or is it a state of mind in which happenstance overshadows the glory and beauty of so-called failure or some might say back luck? Yes Failure, should be a sweet spot in our pallet of life just like victory. Failure like Victory can be just as hard fought. The fight: biting, scratching, gnawing … only to swallow a bitter pill of loss. You lose. You lose they say, you are a loser Knick Fan?
Sam Cooke a pioneer and entrepreneur. When you think of soul music, you will probably begin singing one of his hits. Without Sam Cooke, they would not be the Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye we know, to name a few. The list of artists he has influenced is too long to list. Let us just say this, he was great in all his endeavors. Music, Business, Civil Rights Movement, a Boss of Bosses. At the tender age of 33 his life was taken. Sam Cooke…did he win or lose?
Lenny Cooke! This basketball juggernaut was ranked higher than LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony in 2001. Let me say that again… Ranked higher than 4-time NBA champ Lebron James and Future Hall of Famer and New York Knick Star Carmelo Anthony! As the legend goes Lenny did not get his shot in the NBA and it had nothing to do with his skill level. The league as we know it to this day would look much different with Lenny Cooke as a Knick. Lenny Cooke…did he win or lose?
The thing about Cooke or Cook, Cooking it takes time. The cooked is not meant to last forever, it is prepared for the temporary enjoyment and the nourishing growth of its participants. We’re in route to our first playoff appearance is some time. Knick Fans have we won or loss?
Gearing Up, Grateful and Grudgefully Yours,
