I'm not a big NBA fan. It seems like most professional basketball players are all about ego. At least it did, until this year's "Redeem Team" at the Olympics. These young men, all millionaires I'm sure, didn't have to go to China and compete. They didn't have to go cheer on Michael Phelps as he swam. They didn't have to go watch the beach volleyball teams win. They didn't have to be such stand up guys; no news about drunken orgies, no fights, no ego-trips. They stood there proudly at the gold medal ceremony, singing the "Star Spangled Banner."
And, after this, what did they do? They all went over to their coach, Mike Krzyzewski, and one-by-one put their medals around his neck.
God Bless America. Go USA!
