It’s Sunday morning, and I roll up to the rec center in my navy workout shorts, high socks, Nike slides, and old Drexel University basketball jersey. Without fail I wear a Drexel jersey to play pickup. I have several of them. They’re ten, eleven years old by now, but they’re in immaculate shape, kept alive by something like magic or willpower. I don’t wear this jersey because it’s my favorite, though it is.
