The aforementioned GOAT Basketball 3v3 Tournament for the Good of Namibian mankind went off without a hitch last Sunday. One team won, nineteen teams lost, and GCE came away with a $950 donation from all these kind folks and the ghost of Shawn Kemp:
As to how our Director fared: He went 13/17 on the day along with 16 assists, 18 rebounds, and only 2 turnovers. His team didn't win but they should have. Hashtag alternative facts.
Thanks again to Hindson Her and GOAT Basketball for all their generosity, both money-wise and the gentleness with which they treated an old man's ankles. We here at GCE generally try to raise money by hosting events that combine the spirit of giving with the spirit of community and fun, and oftentimes the work of conceiving, hosting, and executing such an event turns into quite the slog; so it was a true blessing when Mr. Her asked if we'd like to benefit from exactly the kind of event we'd put on had we the same charismatic skill set as his. Perhaps we should ask him to organize our haiku battle in the spring...
