Now that I actually read the article (as opposed to stirring up board ratings to earn my giant check from Denny), I counted the word "lead" 4 times in the article, including 2 in a Connie quote. Was I too hard on Beav?
Connaughton wants to be a leader. That's something he's striving for as well as being a good player. Everyone bashing him is an idiot...
You won't mind if we send a 16-year-old to your home to lead you, because he wants to lead you, so that must be good.
He says it's easier when you're older. He said he's going to practice leadership skills, obviously for the future, but what's the problem with him showing leadership now? Do you guys even understand what leadership is? Leadership could be being energetic, playing hard in practice. That's leading by example. Leadership could be picking someone up when they've missed a few shots and are sagging a little. Leadership could be giving advice that might help someone. A lot of you mustve never played organized basketball.. all you guys act like leadership means bossing people around and telling them what to do.
I think Francisco Coronado best exemplifies leadership. How old was he I wonder, and how much practice slaying Incas did he have before arriving in the New World?
Wanting to b a leader/him being & wanting to b a leader IS good but he's got to b smart about his approach & timing otherwise... he's gonna come off as some young & inexperienced punk kid. Semi-semantics here, I c were u r coming from; it's true that leaders do some or all of the above but I view the above as more being a good player/teammate/person & part of playing the "right way". For me, I hit the "like" button on jlprk's post more so bc what he wrote was pretty funny
He'll be a leader after a season with the pink Hello Kitty backpack rookie coffee run. That's his first test...can he remember what they ordered or not?
They CAN b, just depends on the situation/guy; certainly any1/rank can exhibit leadership qualities but to call them a leader is sometimes a stretch
And in the mean time he'll practice good leadership skills.. unless you want him to act like a punk instead
exactly. He said he'll practice good leadership skills. He never said he wanted to step in from day 1 and be the alpha dog, which some people are acting as if he did
When a kid starts swimming lessons, it's cute that he says he wants to be a swimming teacher. Everyone takes it to mean, a long time from now. Connie said he wants to be a leader immediately. No can do.
you're comparisons are terrible. What's so wrong with him wanting a leadership role? What's so wrong that you felt the need to bash the hell out of him? God damn
My type of leadership is telling u to b less of n idiot n learn how to finish words when you type so my brain doesn't x plode. G sus F N Christ.
