Jackie - you've come a long way from Ft Hamilton Pkwy playground - up and down, happy & sad.. but through hard work and discipline you have persevered - to have a talented & beautiful daughter and a fulfilling life entertaining people- much longer than you could have had in the NBA. God's purpose. Keep on keeping on my friend.
