WHY WE PLAY

“I think we both value offensively skilled players.  We both work hard at the defensive end, but I think we both really emphasize playing with a purpose — passing and shooting.”

-Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said about her team and UConn.

THE DAILY SHOT

Nice to see NBA TV and NBA.com give some love to the history of the game.  It shouldn’t take a lock-out though to keep these wonderful players legacies alive.

“I played for the love of the game. I had to work hard to compete at this level.  I made a career out of my passion.”

Dennis Rodman was also enshrined.

“I didn’t play the game for the money, I didn’t play the game to be famous,” he said. “What you see here is more just an illusion that I love to just be an individual that’s very colorful.”

It was a pleasure listening to Stanford women’s head coach Tara VanDerveer. She clearly enjoys Malcolm Gladwell. I had a chance to meet her last Fall here in Michigan at a basketball clinic. She was outstanding.
