  • Love it. Keep them coming

    Love Zibo and TA but love how they have all of these culture kings a lot of guys that were really good in the NBA but also I had a lot of moxie and charisma like your Shumperts and JR Smith and a Rashid Wallace type. Would love to see you guys get Dennis Rodman or Scottie Pippen or someone from that bulls era.
