<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <div class="bi">Swift Earns Award</div> <div> <span style="font-style: italic">Oct 31</span> - An unscientific poll conducted Tuesday revealed that teammates were not only overwhelmingly thrilled with Stromile Swift's work ethic and mental health over the past month, but the final tally was enough to grant Swift the third annual Don Poier "Pride of Training Camp" Award.</p> </p> Swift earned an honor not sanctioned by the team but intended to recognize consistency and growth on the cusp of a new season.</p> </p> "It's good to see," said swingman Mike Miller, who quickly blurted out Swift's name when asked for a deserving nominee. "He's a good kid. He put a lot of work in. He's got the ability to be special. If he gives us that this year, we're going to be really good." -- <font color="#000000">Memphis Commercial-Appeal</font></p></div></div>
I find this very funny.</p> They are rewarding him for excedding their expectations every training camp after he shreds it every season.</p>

He made a career off hype and athleticism, no effort. When I read that Stromile Swift won an award for effort, I wiped my eyes and looked again. When I read the headline the second time, I slapped myself in the face to make sure it wasn't a dream. When I found out it was real, I just smiled and shook my head. I wouldn't expect anything more out of Stro than we've seen throughout his whole career.</p> </p>
I've never seen a play drawn up, in which Stromile Swift didn't look completely lost on the floor.</p> In fact, he often looks lost on defense too.</p>
Wow, this is surprising and completely unexpected. too bad it probably will never translate to the regular season.</p>
