I can envision a time when I stop watching sports, because it’s become self-congratulatory, narcissistic, all-important, and ugly. And then a guy like Buddy comes along and redeems my cynicism and helps me remember the days of my youth when I played sports for no other reason than I loved the thrill of seeing the basketball net ripple and I would shoot until I couldn’t see the net ripple because it was dark but I could still shoot by feel and hear the swish. Thanks Buddy, for that great smile and four great years of joyful basketball.

Here’s an article by Buddy Hield that will help restore your faith not only in basketball, but in humanity.
