Meyers Leonard 14 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2015)

“Hey Meyers!”

Meyers Leonard turned around to find Blazers GM Neil Olshey addressing him. He immediately put on a smile and reminded himself to be on his best behavior. It was the man who paid the checks, after all. “Hi Neil. How are things?”

Neil seemed distracted. He ignored Meyers’ friendly greeting and instead said, “Do you know where LaMarcus is? I’ve been looking everywhere for him.”

“Um…” Meyers hesitated. Surely Neil knew that LaMarcus was in San Antonio now? “No, I haven’t seen him lately. I think he might have be-”

Interrupting his player, Neil interjected, “Meyers, do you think you could pretend to be LaMarcus? Just for a little bit.”

“I’m already shooting a lot of jumpers if that’s what you’re talking about,” Meyers responded, unsure how to react to this odd request.

“No, no, I don’t mean on the court. I mean in person. Just for a while, can you do all the things LaMarcus used to do? Meyers, can you hold me in your big black arms?”

At those last couple of words, Meyers’ mind began to race. He really would have preferred not to speculate on the nature of Neil and LaMarcus’ relationship, but he couldn’t help it, and the thoughts sickened him. “I gotta get going, Neil. Practice. See you around.”
