"And this is your stage." Sam Mewis, the USA Women's Basketball Media Liaison says as she points to the stage I'll be sat on.
Today is team media day and it's being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Whew.
"Thanks." I say then Luna and I climb onto the stage and sit on the chairs. "Anything I need to be aware of?"
"Probably stuff about the Lakers draft, the WNBA ban, and the Olympics." Sam says as she puts a stack of papers on the table in front of me. "These should help."
"Cool." I say then Sam Moves on to the next player.
After Sam leaves, I feel my phone buzz so I take it out and look at it.
"LA Lakers have hired Rajon Rondo as their new head coach and Pau Gasol as their assistant coach." I mumble. "Bout fucking time."
After the NBA Finals Cairo did basically an exit interview with all of the players about how they think the staff handled the season.
We may have had the best record of any team ever, but we didn't win many of those games because of coaching.
Everyone else agreed with my assessment so Cairo told the coaching staff they we're all gonna be let go which means they get the rest of the money on their contract.
After Darvin Ham and his coaching staff were let go, they were all hired by the New York Knicks.
"INCOMING." Someone shouts then the doors to the convention hall we're in open and the media people stream in.
"Luna I'm gonna need a big joint tonight." I mumble as the media people seem to beeline towards me.
What seems like seconds later, my stage is surrounded by cameras and media people then they all start talking
"HEY." I hear Sam Mewis shout causing all talking in the hall to stop. "I TOLD ALL YOU HOW TO BEHAVE."
Sam's good at her job.
"YOU PEOPLE BETTER ACT LIKE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS AND NOT OVERWHELM THE PLAYERS OR WE WILL SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN." Sam shouts. "THANK YOU."
"Erin you first." I say as I point at Erin Andrews.
"Moon what're your thoughts on the hiring of Rajon Rondo and Pau Gasol?" Erin asks.
"I'm excited." I say. "I was around Rajon my last year in the g-league and he has an insanely high basketball IQ and he is very hands on which is gonna help us keep our domination going and we all know how Pau Gasol is and his genius can only help us."
"Sounds like you're trying to schmooze to keep your job." Some dude says.
"Mother fucker I'm the best player in the NBA." I say. "I don't need to schmooze anyone."
Dumbass.
"Taylor." I say as I point at a black lady who looks a lot like Talia, but with Locs.
"What're your expectations for the upcoming season given the losses the Lakers have had?" Taylor Rooks asks as I look at the predicted line-up paper on the table.
