For those like me who struggle with grief, and the arduous, never-ending pursuit to fix ourselves, I highly recommend this book by @EnswellJones. Don’t know if I’ve ever been moved by a book as much as this one. Just a remarkable piece of work.

Spencer Jones, great story. Ranked 200 in HS; undrafted out of Stanford. Didn't score in preseason; had 20 in game 5 "...The least expensive & most unheralded player on their $200-million-plus roster would buy their ticket to ... Game 6." "Sometimes, it’s reinventing yourself"
