...minutes before I arrived, he passed away. I missed my chance to say goodbye. I went over to the wheelchair where he was resting and said some final words. It was the most surreal experience of my life. I'm not a very demonstrative guy, but I couldn't control my emotions that day. I lost a father figure. Basketball lost a dear friend...
...season spiral so far out of control? For one, as the losses start piling up, the locker room becomes a toxic place.

"I began as an H - the code they use for Hawk," he says. "After a time, I became a Central. I gave information to all the local H's in the community." He also reveals how his "family" stays one step ahead of the authorities by paying a vast network of informants, from local journalists to high-ranking federal agents. (See pictures...
