Daniel John Willard "Danny" Ferry (born October 17, 1966) is a retired American professional basketball player and the Vice President of Basketball Operations for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Considered one of the best high school basketball athletes in the country from the class of 1985, Danny Ferry was Parade Magazine's prep Player of the Year and one of the most highly recruited high school seniors in the nation before committing to Duke University. Known for his superb outside shooting, strong rebounding abilities and full-court vision while in college, Ferry's talents on the court likened him to that of a younger Larry Bird during his career with the three-time Final Four-bound Duke Blue Devils. The consensus All-American standout left Duke setting many school records while earning several national player of the year awards as one of the country's most celebrated college basketball athlete during his senior year. Drafted into the NBA in 1989 as the second overall pick in the draft, Ferry would go on to spend the majority of his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers where he became the team's all-time leader in games played (723 games) until Žydrūnas Ilgauskas surpassed his record on December 2, 2009. Danny Ferry is ranked among the top 50 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) men's basketball players of all-time as well as one of Duke's top basketball players in the school's history.

When they were granted political asylum, his family emigrated to Brixton, South London. Deng developed an interest in soccer, admiring Faustino Asprilla of Newcastle United, but also continued to play basketball, and was invited to join England's 15-and-under team in that sport. During this time, he began his career at Brixton Basketball Club. He represented Croydon at the London Youth Games, and was inducted in to their Hall of Fame in 2009. At the age of 13, he played for England's squad in the European Junior Men's Qualifying Tournament, averaging 40 points and 14 rebounds. He was named the MVP of the tournament.

Remember the days when it all was just fine
We sat at your house, doing pot and red wine
Now the years have gone by and some of us changed, died
or left.
But still I like to think of way back then, the best
bunch guys who I call my friends
But I can see the changes everyday
Just a little bit longer
Just a little more time
Just a few hours longer
That'll make me much stronger, and it'll all be just
fine
The nights that we spent above the pizza store
The parties we had, cops knocking on our door
Everyone laughed and didn't give damn
The life that we lived was of a different kind
Nobody cared how we fucked up our lives
But everyone of us just turned out right!
Just a little bit stronger
Just a little more tough
Just a little less weakness
That will stop my hunger, and I'll be strong enough
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little more smart
Just a little more knowledge
So I can't stand my desire, before it all falls apart
Just a little bit longer
Just a little more time
Just a few hours longer
That'll make me much stronger, and it'll all be just
fine
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little more smart
Just a little more knowledge
So I can't stand my desire, before it all falls apart
Just a little bit older
Just a few wrinkles more
Just a little more stories
This is my confession of things I've kept inside
Secrets I've tried to hide from you, you never suspect it.
They've been carefully contained, I respectfully restrained the truth...
But now I can't hide it anymore, I can't deny it anymore.
I'm in love with you and I don't care who knows and it shows...
That I have wanted you for so long, and now all of my strength is gone
I can't keep these feelings locked up in my soul...
So this is my confession, my heart without disguise
Undressed and open wide to you I've abandoned the protection
That has quietly concealed all that I now reveal to you.
For now I can't hide it anymore, I can't deny it anymore.
I'm in love with you and I don't care who knows and it shows...
For I have wanted you for so long, and now all of my strength is gone
I can't keep these feelings locked up in my soul...
What ever your reaction I will fearlessly without a reservation
tell honestly
That I have wanted you for so long, and now all of my strength is gone
I can't keep these feelings locked up in my soul...
Do you remember last night all of the things that we
said
They didn't seem wrong at that time
hold on a while...
I still remember your face, and that same look in your
eyes
Now baby let's give this a chance
hold on a while
Hold on a while....
Forget everything I'm gonna say
Now baby I don't wanna fight
hold on a while....
I think tomorrow will change everything we did wrong
Now honey let's put things a side
And hold on while...
Hold on a while....
Forget everything I'm gonna say
Now baby I don't wanna fight
hold on a while....
Do you remember last night all of the things that we
said
Now baby let's give this a chance
hold on a while...
Hold on a while....
Forget everything I'm gonna say
Now baby I don't wanna fight
hold on a while....
“A58” by Danny Vera
Intro: Am, Am, Em, Em, C, C, Em, Em
Em Am Em
(Verse I) I was just drifting by, with no place to go,
Em C Em
Watching the clouds, far down your road.
Em Am Em
I’ve been here before, so many times
Em C D
I can’t handle no more, any of your lies
Am Em
(Chorus I) A58, bring me back home,
Em C D
You’re taking too long, my patience is gone
Am Em
A58, don’t take all of my time
Em C Em
I once was your drifter, you know drifters pass by
Solo: Am, Am, Em, Em, C, C, Em, Em
Em Am Em
(Verse II) I think of your ban, near the PM Factory
Em C Em
Smoking kills like you do, but man it don’t see
Em Am Em
I follow your guide, through meadows and plains
Em C D
Away from my island, she’s fighting the sea
Am Em
(Chorus II) A58, bring me back home,
Em C D
You’re taking too long, my patience is gone
Am Em
A58, don’t take all of my time
Em C D
I once was your drifter, you know drifters pass by
D Am Em
And please don’t take, anymore of our lives
Em C Em
I can’t deal with the pain, so keep us alive
The only one
Who hesitated, oh
Much too long
Remember when she was
So young
She said nothing
She was dreaming on
Dreamer, don’t get me wrong
Oh no, I won’t let you down
I’ll just sing without a sound
No, I won’t let you down
Like every woman
You’ve got your secrets too
I don’t want to know them
I just want to know you
Remember when you where so young
It all seemed so easy back then
These days are gone
Dreamer, don’t get me wrong
Oh no, I won’t let you down
I’ll just sing without a sound
Dreamer, don’t get me wrong
Oh no, I won’t let you down
I’ll just sing without a sound
Dreamer, don’t get me wrong
Oh no, I won’t let you down
I’ll just sing without a sound
Dreamer, don’t get me wrong
Oh no, I won’t let you down
I’ll just sing without a sound

Left my life in Tijuana
Lost my love in Ashbury
Made a fortune in Havana
Where I done my misery
Now I'm headin' for the city
To meet my destiny
Yes I'm headin' for the city
To meet my destiny
Left my love in Atlanta
Took the plane to Birmingham
Lost my heart in Vienna
Got it back in Amsterdam
Now I'm headin' for the city
To meet my destiny
I keep headin' for the city
To meet my destiny
To meet my destiny
Quit playin' poker in Las Vegas
No more trips to Miami
I did my time down in Memphis
Were I left a part of me
I left that part of me behind
Now I'm headin' for the city
To meet my destiny
I keep headin' to that city
To meet my destiny
