“We’re gonna introduce now the North Clayton Eagles / Coached by James Gwynn / His starters, number 21, Tauheed Epps.” The announcer’s voice cuts out, but you can watch, or just imagine, the rest.

One day, a Harlem teenager had to make a pivotal decision. Option one was to attend his high school basketball team’s playoff round matchup. Option two was to be a model in the biggest hip-hop/high fashion crossover event to date, Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 3 fashion line release. Sheck Wes, that teenager, chose the latter,

It looked like a scroll. A picture from a news-clipping at least 30 years old. The paper had yellowed and crumbled and fallen apart at the edges, crinkled in a thousand different ways. At the center was a photograph showing a young, college-aged man in a basketball uniform, rising up for a fadeaway jumper. My
