It started with a simple bike ride. After being let go as the head coach of the Philadelphia Sixers in 2008, I went to Miami to spend time reflecting on what might come next. On this particular day, I left the apartment thinking I was only going out for a short ride to clear my mind. No need to take my I.D. No need to tell anyone where I was going.
I was headed back to my apartment from a convenience store when I felt a cop car tailing closely behind my bike. I didn’t turn around or slow down.
