story-. Remember I was talking to Rex Johnson owner of Burger King on Main
Street in Indiana Harbor. Street was pitching him my Slam Dunk Contest to the
owner to Burger King on putting out some T-shirts promoting "Slama-Jama”.
The part that turned it all around for me was Rex Johnson said. “I could change
the color of Burger King, but you could not touch their logo.” This is what ran
through my mind as I sat on one of those booths in Burger King.(Rex Johnson
owned 18 Burger King's & 3 steak houses @ the time. "Well Ricardo I'm
not gonna buy you 1,000 T-shirts," He started out & I was preparing my
response. "I'm not asking you for 1,000 T-shirts." This was my
response.(Rooster did the T-shirt for me but he drew the number 69& I had
to pull his coat, but he made the change & we were all good. Street got up
from the booth &picked up his artwork.” Well if you don't want in I'll go
across the street to McDonald’s “Told him matter of factually. "Sit down
Ricardo." Rex told me as he motioned me to the seat. Part 2.Clowning.After
Slam Dunk Contest there will be a comedy showcase looking for the funniest dude
in the class of 2024."Creating Content." These young people will be
17,18 years only once .Wanna make sure they get a chance "to clown”. Insert the following script for our
