    "I remember sitting on the floor in front of my television, really, truly watching my first NBA draft, when the Rockets announced they had traded three first-round picks for Seton Hall standout Eddie Griffin. Surely I'm different than others, but let's put it this way: I remember where I was on 9/11 (in school); I remember where I was when Texas beat USC in 2005 (screaming like a madman in my bedroom); and I remember where I was when the Rockets traded for Eddie Griffin, right there, bug-eyed on that living room floor.

    To me, disappointments (players who just don't live up to their potential) often garner anger more than actual feelings of disappointment. One can get angry when a high draft pick doesn't pan out after a few years. That makes sense, right? But you rarely feel actual disappointment. And yet, that all changes with Eddie Griffin."
