The Open Run With Will Strickland
Episode 150 – Fanalytics
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
--President Theodore Roosevelt
Screaming from the bleachers has a different weight these days, but facts care less about your feelings… especially when you can’t do that which you are criticizing.
Random and casual hoops “expert” graduates on these rough interweb streets who hail from esteemed institutions like Twitter Tech, Facebook University, YouTube College and Instagram Institute take notice.
Stand down, play your position and enjoy the moment as Wall $t. runs the court with highly venerated manipulator of letters, words and phrases, Robert “Scoop” Jackson, to talk the NBA’s In-Season Tournament, Angel Reese’s return, the winds of change in college and pro basketball, the Bulls imminent fire sale, a starting five all-time Chicago players and his involvement in writing the new book, Ice: Why I Was Born To Score, by the great Hall of Famer and top 5 coolest cat to ever touch the rock, George “Iceman” Gervin!
