YES YES we are 6-0, after winning last week against a very hungry team who came into our gym and played well on National Television our first of the season. I played a good game, scoring 27 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals. But when I called my mom I said mom I didn't play that well I could have done some things better and she was like boy you crazy. Thats just me, you have to watch the game to understand what I'm talking about, but I'm so grateful on my performance and pray I continue to play this well. NO one expected us to start the season 6-0 and be this good because in the preseason we were 3-13 and never won a game. But I did an interview today and said we only had 5 players during this time and we didn't know each other. After I said that I was so hurt because I don't have excuses or use them because no matter what you can do anything. Now things are going well for us, it feels good because my teammates and myself talked about what type of success we can have if we come together and get better EVERY WEEK!

True I been playing well, but I'm still hungry and looking to get better and win more games. Its a long season and teams make adjustments so now I'm in the gym working on things I know teams will try to stop and take away from me while playing. The game of basketball is all about making adjustments and reacting to the ups and downs presented throughout the season. I'm looking forward to each week, each game because its definitely a big year for me, I know I can play this game on any level, I know what type of player I am now its showing myself and the World I can do it. I think our team is growing and getting better, but I can't lie I don't see or feel the swagger we need to be GREAT and compete for a CHAMPIONSHIP, not yet. 90% of the time thats all it is, having confidence in yourself then bringing the collection of talent together to achieve the ultimate goal thats winning as a team. I think we know we are a good team, but don't know wha'ts going on right now. Thats a good thing and bad thing,in my opinion, bad because we are tied for first place and we are playing good basketball in the process its not just luck or we playing bad teams we are winning tight games, road games, blow out games, we are getting it done. Good thing because we are still humble and hungry because we know things can change so fast and now teams are chasing us and its a huge target on our back, teams want to beat us. I'm still having fun and making sure everyone is focused and relaxed. The pressure is on us because if we keep winning everyone wants to be around us, follow us, but then when you lose people will say well we didn't think they were going to be good anyway, they just got off to a good start. So either way, I say to my teammates lets continue to get better EVERYDAY, EACH GAME, AND EVERY WEEK. I know we are good and things will get tough but I love my teammates and the chemistry we have so we will continue to grow and work hard. As for me its going down, I'm going hard and putting it all on the line. I feel like I'm getting better everyday, each possession, each week, if I didn't I would write what I really feel. God is Great, I'm blessed and know I was build to play this game.

It's been a minute since I wrote a blog, but I needed time to rest and enjoy this time. I hate to leave my fans without knowing whats going on in my mind. I'm feeling good, my body is sore, but we practice hard and go hard all week. Thats what I love about Avellino there's not much to do within the city, so its to the gym and back home waiting on the next practice. Winning feels so good, but getting better in the process with great teammates and individuals feel much better. I love going to the gym and bonding with my teammates, it makes basketball so much fun. For those reading imagine going to work with people you just don't get along with....Its tough right? It makes you not want to go to the office, but for me it feels good to go to the gym with great guys who you can joke, work hard with and be able to do what you love with. I have a long way to go, its going to be a long year for me, I'm real tough on myself, like I went 12-16 from the free throw line I need all those and I can't leave those crucial points on the table. I missed a lot of easy shots and made some questionable decisions with the basketball committing 3 TOs. Right now I'm 11-39 from the three point line and thats my bread and butter, so I'm really hurt by that so I'm making sure I put up more and more shots so I can get that outside jumper going. These are the things I'm thinking right now even though my numbers are good, but I can always get better and thats what I want to do so bad after WINNING though. Its crazy when you are winning none of this is really I mean really focused on, but if you were losing they would be all down my throat. WINNING is great, but for me I take that feeling and work on letting that feeling grow and grow. I'm a winner and play each game to win first and to play the hardest I can for my family, my team, my organization, then myself.

Besides basketball, its been going to the bowling alley a few times a week getting my game right and having a little fun getting out of the house. It is days I spend 8 hours just sitting in the house writing songs, listening to beats, putting together my next few projects, don't get me wrong it feels good to chill and have something you love, but I know I have to get out of the house and do something. I enjoy life and no one can tell me nothing because I work hard and when I didn't feel like I worked hard at the gym the next few days I go harder and put in that work. This weekend its going to be a big game, like I always say but it is. Its a road game, we are 6-0, this team is talented and has invested time and money into making a good team who can go far in the CHAMPIONSHIP. One of my home boys play for them, Davis Moss, he is from Chicago and he is over doing his thang which I love to see and appreciate him continuing to live his dreams, so whats up to him and GOOD LUCK!

Now its time to thank my family, friends, fans, and followers who show me love and support. I tell people all the time I don't have to certain things, how I come across, how I act is how I really am. I appreciate and love what everyone do for me. I have a lot of facebook, myspace, twitter pages, but all of my real pages get so many positive messages and it makes me work hard and love what I do for a living, so thats why I always say thank you. I'm doing me, I'm smiling, I'm working hard and making sure I'm representing my family, my CITY, my hood, my fellow athletes who have dreams like me to do this thats play basketball for a living on a HIGH LEVEL. I'm so blessed and thank God everyday for blessing me. Now lets go to BOLOGNA and get this win if its not a victory its going to be a WAR and we will play our hardest for families, our friends, and of course our GREAT FANS, man I love y'all thanks for the support! Talk to y'all soon much love yo boy DUNNY
