Perception is reality, the saying goes. Modern players can never transcend time, athletes only care about the money and the fan is never wrong. Yet, all you need to do is dig a little deeper to find the truth. As a freelance sportswriter, my job is to give the audience a story around what just happened. As a consumer, I expect that sports will always provide more than I bargained for. As a fan, my hopes are to be enlightened by more than points. Welcome to the mind of a sports scribe.
Is it me, or did every kid on the playgrounds/gym starting catching the spaz on a regular basis? Like it was the "in" thing to do. I had the first Grant Hill kicks in 6th grade. Only wore 'em to walk around in. I changed kicks for Gym class. But when I got the Sprewell's in 7th grade. I wore those all day. Little did I know that just a few years later I would want him to be the father of my sister's kids.

See, I never caught spazzes... except on the monkey bars. Even then, I was Dunk Champion... within the ten of us that played regularly.
