RIP Lenny Wilkens . I saw him as a player with the Sonics..spent hours with him throughout his stops in the NBA, especially in Toronto. A Hall of Famer as a coach and player. A class individual. Deepest condolences to his family and the NBA fraternity.

I believe things happen for a reason…this video clip was from a few days ago..little did Pope Leo the 14th know a week later he would receive his own iconic , personalized Bulls jersey . The Holy Spirit moves in powerful ways -Pope Leo is one of us-Chicago ! @chicagobulls
