 We kept in touch, always texting, calls, game visits. I'd drop a triple-double and have a text from him. A double-triple-double, I see, with a flex emoji. Another game, another text. Yo, beast mode. Or easy money. He taught me his step back. He told me that if I could bring that to my game, it'd be over for any defender trying to guard me. He was giving me the blueprint. He was giving Gigi the same blueprint.
