Not sure if this has been posted but I stumbled on this article and thought it was extremely interesting. I don't know everything about Shaka so it was cool to learn a few new things about him and his brother.

The only example I might have set for Shaka remains pretty dubious: I turned down the University of Chicago to attend Middlebury College. Four years later, Shaka turned down Harvard to study and play basketball at Kenyon. It is possible, though, that the shared love in our family for the documentary Hoop Dreams—a VHS tape worn down by many viewings—may well have played a subliminal role in my becoming a film critic and Shaka becoming a coach.
