I want to get this on my blog before I get out of town. I’ve been meaning to do it several times and got distracted with all the things which have been going on with my life and cancer journey.
I didn’t put this in my Top 5 Championship Parade List, but if it’s not No. 5 for me, then it’s a very close No. 6 at the least.
I love Nick Collison.
I love the way he played the game, talked the game, and ultimately came back to OKC to help them win the champuonship he never quite won while as a player in Oklahoma City.
If I had a son who wanted to become a basketball player and an even better human being…I’d sit him down and say, ” Watch this guy. Observe how he respects the game, his teammates, his coaches, and the fanbase.”
If young Archie Davenport were my son…I’d say,”This is the dude to pattern yourself after as a man and a basketball player.”
That’s it pretty much. I’m glad Aaron Wiggins did this.
Thank you, Nick Collison.
