Re: Former Cats in the NBA
TJ would not be in the NBA if not for Sean Miller calling in favors to get him invited to the NBA tryouts. Miller knew his talent when he could shoot the ball hardly at all. He is a dog.

Love his fire. I think the year away from the game was good for his health and he will do fine at X. Congrats on ...
