STAMBI
SCOUTING
February 8, 2022 I cried today watching my team play. I was unable to participate because of my shoulder. I'm a player who wants to always be in the game. It's a moment of adversity for me. I'm ready for the challenge.
February 16. 2022 I woke up in the Ocean Reef Club. I was just in Montevideo, Uruguay. Polar opposite communities. If Montevideo is dirty, ORC is clean. My shoulder weirdly enough feels 10x better. I think of my experience in Montevideo. I've put more time into basketball than any player on the planet. I was born on the court. But I disrespected the basketball Gods early on in my career. They punished me and put me in basketball prison.
I've finally been released from basketball prison. Free at last. It's time to take my player to the appropriate stage and perform.
February 22, 2022 I find myself crying a lot lately. I haven't expressed myself in such a way so consistently since I was 10 years old. It feels good. I think it's a healthy expression. As a player being productive is the most important. The personality of the player is something that draws in fans. This new crying thing is shaping my personality into something that makes me smile when I look into the mirror. I feel pure.
March 1, 2022 I just had breakfast with a consultant from Mckinsey here in Kitzbühel at the Grand Hotel. She's been a consult for four years at the firm and began asking me questions about basketball. I informed her I record everything I do. She mentioned I would be an easy client to work for because I keep the data. It's a moment of I knew it. Hahaha. We spoke about different things to maximise the potential of an athlete, and whose the right sponsor for a player.
March 4, 2022 I just landed in Miami from Istanbul, Turkey. I'm having some deja vu. The last time i landed in the States from Istanbul I was triggered by this emotion by a conversation I had on the flight. That emotion triggered me to begin writing books. Since then I've written 30 books. I had a conversation on this flight that triggered me in a way. I wonder what I will do next.
March 8, 2022 I'm wearing Csillag, I feel like a Star. Sarah sits next to me as we rest our feet on the hardwood floor. It's a close game in the city that Naps. The Cavaliers gather in their huddle. Minutes earlier, I witness Rajon Rondo give instructions to JB. I asked Rondo the question, "Are you the coach?" . He smiled and immediately pointed at JB. I then laughed. But now, it's a close game in the city that Naps. Late game situation, and the Cavaliers have the ball. I catch eyes with Rondo. "Tween, tween, step back from 40!" insinuating this should be the play call for the Cavaliers to go for the win in Indianapolis. He replied, "What's that book you're reading?" . Fuck, I ended up looking down. Grabbing the book, and lifting it up for him to read the title.
1-0 Rondo? I'm not sure.
The Cavaliers won the game.
:(
March 21, 2022 I feel like I look like the player I created all those years on FIFA.
March 30, 2022 I'm at the Ocean Reef Club. I think about the community. The members, equity and social. The guest. The workers. Everyone that makes up the reef. I went and shot some hoops today and thought to myself, " Stambi you've never shot a gun. At least not one you buy from the gun store. But you probably have the best gun on the reef. Does this mean I have the best gun in the world?". I see my arm, my hand, and my fingers as my gun. My basketball shot as my gun. I think I have the best gun in the world.

April 26, 2022 Tuesday 3:53pm Real Madrid vs Manchester City. An absolute show. It makes me feel like a kid, wanting to be out there on the pitch but dissapointed i'm not old enough or strong enough to participate. Holy fuck. I am old enough. I'm 6'5 , with muscle and speed. Let me go work out.
