Q & A w/ TheTwoWallaces
Since I'm always asking you guys questions -- thought it could be fun to flip the script and let you guys shoot questions at a new guy.

Re: Q & A w/ TheTwoWallaces
My old man was a big baller back in his day growing up in Detroit. I grew up in Brazil/Boston but I was raised as a big Pistons fan. '04 championship run is one of my favorite memories. That team - how oddly it was assembled - probably is also what got me into management. I've never liked having superstars on my team. I like assembling the perfect pieces that create exciting team ball. Also I work in Data Viz so it's fun to do a different type of data work.
Obviously Pistons are my favorite franchise, and I'm also a big Michigan State fan (though I didn't go to school there). Favorite players are Manuuu, Jamal Crawford, Patrick Beverly, and of course Big Ben Wallace. Pretty much anyone who is a resilient little fucker haha

Re: Q & A w/ TheTwoWallaces
How did you learn about CSL?
And how about those ties to Brazil? Do you speak Portuguese like Rizzo (BKN) does? I'm Brazilian! That's really cool!

Learned about through a r/nbadiscussion thread on reddit. I can't remember who posted it -- but I've always wanted to do something like this so I bit immediately.Marcos_Beck wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 6:51 pm How did you learn about CSL?

And I do speak portuguese! I was born/lived in Florianopolis when I was very little, then moved to the States in time for kindergarten. My mom's side of the family is still all down there so we stay pretty connected. Força Figueirense!

I've heard Florianopolis is amazing but never been there...

Re: Q & A w/ TheTwoWallaces
Valeu cara! My mom was in Salvador just last year to visit a friend. She absolutely loved that city. I’ve always wanted to go. I’ve heard it’s a lot more beautiful than my racist ass family in Santa Catarina hahaMarcos_Beck wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 10:52 pmSo nice!

Re: Q & A w/ TheTwoWallaces
Is he the only Wallace left in this league? If I was commissioner that would be the first issue I would address. We need more Wallaces. At least two.

Re: Q & A w/ TheTwoWallaces
Yea I only played through high school. But I was 2 years behind Pat Connaughton and I got to play against Nerlens, Wayne Seldon , Jake Layman, and Bruce Brown. So I always casually root for those guys. But Pat is the hometown hero so everyone’s a fan here.
I mean, is there any Brazilian who doesn’t love soccer? I always say I got basketball from my Detroit dad and soccer from my Brazilian mom. I was probably a better soccer player but I follow the nba slightly more closely.

Re: Q & A w/ TheTwoWallaces
Ah dope. No I'm actually from Arlington -- so only from playing pickup as kids & then playing against FiHo for years. I played for Arlington High -- we never played against Revere though.
