Magic Johnson made me fall in love with basketball. Kobe Bryant captured my imagination. Players like Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson cemented my respect for the game. But if I had to name my kindred spirit on the basketball court, it is this man. Afterward, in his interview with Suns brass, he was asked why he felt hed be a good fit in Phoenix, and gave one of the most poignant, self-aware answers Ive ever heard in a pre-draft setting (Im paraphrasing): Honestly, I dont know how good a player Ill be in this league, but I know one thing: I am going to run the length of the floor hard on every single play because I know most bigs hate to run; Im going to make them hate seeing us on the schedule.
