Anyone who thinks this is easy…it’s not. But we’re loving every minute of it. This is what we signed up for right?

This is old but so funny. KG is a true ELITASTE! Going to Game 2 on Saturday and even though I grew up and live in LA, my family is Boston all the way so I’m going green.
Just a teaser

Saw this on his myspace and thought it was cool. He’s definitely put in work. Started at Harvard when he was 16 and graduated at 19.
