Now that "Moses and the Doctor" is available everywhere books are sold, here's how you can get a signed copy: Order through Astoria Bookshop (link below), or send me a request for a signed bookplate (my email is in my bio). I'll mail you one free. It's that simple.

I love my job because I can start a memo with the sentence, "You're unusually adept with commas."

Japanese PM: Tomorrow is the birthday of your son, Mr. Barron Trump, and I know he has grown up so much into a very tall, good looking gentleman. As I see you, Donald, it is very clear where he got it. There’s no doubt about it.

A reminder: If you like my new book as much as Mike (or even if you don't!), rate it on Amazon, Goodreads, B&N, wherever. Those ratings and comments are very helpful.

What a spectacular book. All done. ABA into NBA. Moses and Dr. J impact, opposites attracting, 76ers finally winning it and so much more. Hoops and culture and everything in-between. Wonderful job, @LukeEpplin, and thanks for coming on the MLSP. 🏀🏀🏀

“Moses and the Doctor” has been out for more than a month and I just received a memory alert of when I was writing chapter 14. Somehow I got it done.

Maybe it's because I grew up in a conservative part of the country, but I internalized the right-leaning mantra that "Character is destiny." It's why I was certain that folks in my hometown would reject this president. I was wrong, but the mantra, it turns out, is still right.

Great NBA alternate universe: What if the Suns, rather than the Bucks, had won the rights to draft Kareem. Even greater alternate universe: What if George Mikan hadn't screwed up the ABA pitch and Kareem had signed with the New York Nets instead.
NBA Cobwebs@NBACobwebs

March 18, 1969: Suns GM Jerry Colangelo and head coach Johnny Kerr listen via conference call as the Bucks win the coin toss for the NBA's first overall draft pick in '69. Phoenix called heads and Milwaukee went on to select Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) with the #1 pick.

True, the GOP went into one war in the Middle East a bit rashly, and then they went into another war in the Middle East a bit rashly, but maybe next time....

I get it--good for Rand Paul for grilling a guy like this. But seriously, it's hard to give too many plaudits to a senator who continues to support a Commander in Chief whose whole life has been distorted by anger issues.
Julie Tsirkin@news_jul

Woah… part of @RandPaul’s opening statement for @SenMullin’s nomination hearing to be Homeland Security Secretary: “And while you’re at it explain to the American public why they should trust a man with anger issues.”

Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s all watch Julius Erving not fake the funk on some nasty dunks for about 90 seconds.

A great read thank you @LukeEpplin for shining a light on a story that needed to be told. Admittedly I knew very little about Moses Malone before this book fascinating to learn his eternal ties to Dr.J And how they helped shape the modern NBA.

Was able to chat with Eddie Johnson for a few minutes beforehand about the University of Illinois. It was a good week overall for me.

Super excited to be on Sirius XM NBA Radio today at 6:20, mainly because I'll be talking with the great Eddie Johnson, who went to the University of Illinois, the team I grew up rooting for. Can't wait.
