College Basketball
February 11th, 2010CJ is an SU fan, which is fine with me- I get a kick out of watching the games.
There is a player who is the unofficial leader of the team. He is not necessarily known for scoring tons of points, but he is great at things like passing to the guy who is close to the basket. He is unselfish. I enjoy observing students playing pick-up games on the playground at school. I think of them as always looking for their moment of glory- the very opposite of the SU guy.
This player (whose name I have forgotten) had to sit out for awhile because he had collected too many fouls too early, and his team proceeded to really struggle, making for a really exciting finish. SU won by five points but it felt like they won by .2 points.
My point is that in being unselfish with the ball this player makes himself almost indispensable. I just think that says something powerful about being part of a team.
