That was great!
A nice little boost to keep me working through the day.
Sure would be nice if Salon had a "good news" section that I could read each day.
Daily bouts of war, scandel, corruption and general bad news can be tiresome.
but does this reporter not sound exactly like John Malkovich?
if the kid can shoot 6 3-pointers, why can't he be on the team? If everyone was go damned warm on the kid and all, why doesnt' he play?
That was really wonderful to see
... why didn't this kid get a chance before this? Apparently he's got some game!
It also reminded of a JV basketball game I saw when I was in middle school. We had a kid on our team who was disabled (I forget what his condition was). He'd be put into games late if it was a blowout either way, and would just hang out near the basket. One game near the end of the season, he caught a pass and from a good distance just nailed a tough shot. Like in this story, the place exploded. He didn't go on to score 20 points, but it was a really nice moment.
