I can’t imagine how an athlete could emote more sincerely than this. When you watch this in the context of a leader who has fought for something for 13 years, and thought it might never come, it has to bring tears to the eyes of any viewer, even if they don’t follow hoops.
He doesn’t use big words, but he gives us what every sports fan wants: we hope that it’s about more than money for these guys, because it is for use. He hope that all players want it this badly, though it seems like most don’t. Sports are more fun to watch when you have in the back of your head that your favorite players are terrified of spending their retirement lamenting that they never earned a ring.
KG made basketball so much more fun to watch in Boston.
