The Dream Team of Olympic Basketball: Michael, Magic, Larry …
BUT, THIS is about the OTHER DREAM TEAM.
They couldn’t even imagine their Dream in the beginning, it had been so long ago.
FOR ALL
It takes a Nation, with a little luck, grit, and passion.
“Yeah, And it’s a bigger dream.”
Jim Lampley
V is for Victory.
V was for Hope.
V said “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.”
And They didn’t.
He had told them the first day they met. “We are going to win a National Championship.”
They failed for two years, and time was running out, most of them were seniors in college. Last chance.
They won when nobody had given them a chance.
They appeared quite different one black, one white; one a quiet small town guy and the other an urbanite with a big smile.
But, they had a common obsession.
And a common Temperament: Artisan.
They were competitive. Very competitive — actually they both wanted to be the best, period.
