It was posited that I should take home a Swaggie this week considering I now get paid to do what I was doing for free, but instead I’ll defer this to my big brother. Check the stat sheet. Dude has credentials–and can provide you legal advice for a price. Now, lest you think I think my brother has third place swagger, remember: this is my award and he is graciously accepting it on my behalf. No Pitts-Wiley I’m related to has ever had third place swagger in their lives.
Ain’t But One On The Corner Has Swagger Like…Lynette Clemetson

She’s giving the Boy Wonder a title shot. And don’t get it twisted: she is accredited.
No One On The Corner Has Swagger Like…Kelechi Okere

We’ve been buddies going on twenty years. He is one of the two people I would be if I wasn’t me and the only person my age I admire. He approaches the twists and turns of life with a grace and aplomb that I find baffling. And I am jealous of it. He’s the kind of guy I hope my kids turn out to be. Can’t just anybody have swagger like that.
