I absolutely loved this snippet from Sam's column today. Yes, we have been seeing better free throw shooting...Here's part of the answer why:
Good Hope, that is just beautiful...and so DRose. Tell him he has a weakness and he works his ass off to not only eliminate it, but make it a strength. I've never seen anything like it. The kid's will makes me giddy.
Our boy Rose is getting tested now. People are fawning over him like never before. Hope he holds up. This one statement from today's All Star game article in the trib gives me hope: DWill called him a monster. Pop called him scary (and good looking). Thibs is almost crying when he talks about him (I mean, how blessed Thibs must feel to have him on his team?). It's hard not to see the moment, and think it will be forever, or that he's got it made. Honestly, I pray for him. He's still just a kid.
