From San Quentin to Chase Center: the voice of Aaron ‘Showtime’ Taylor is just getting warm


Aaron Taylor stretches atop his twin bed, neatly covered with a blue tweed Dodgers blanket. Resting on a worn pillow scrunched like a cloud, he stares at the cell phone he holds above his face. In this room, at a halfway house in Los Angeles, is where he slow-cooks a potential career in broadcasting. A folding lawn chair and the foot of the other twin bed as a desk comprise his makeshift office. A 30-inch TV sits nearby, propped up on a dusty PS4. The light brown carpet and beige walls, the gold trim on the sliding closet doors that double as mirrors, are luxurious compared to the rusted bars and vanilla walls of his former confines — San Quentin State Prison. He likes it in this room. The quiet is different, less stressful. He can see the future in this room.

Taylor stops scrolling when he sees Chase Center in the subject line. He sits up suddenly.

He re-checks the sender. It really is from Raymond Ridder, the Golden State Warriors’ PR guru.
