For The Love Of The Game





“Michael Jordan dribbling to the arch for the 3!”
From the top of the perimeters circumferences key:
Out of bounds—CAREENING—Into the bleachers rumbling seats
#23: shrugs at The Dean. Coach Dean shrugs at the team—

"What does all the shruggery mean?"

Coach Dean calls for the "Time-Out!" with a disruptive T!
...Scolding the rookie in front of the team...
Cussing obscene, an ugly scene:
“Adjust To The Screen!!!"
"Find The Open Man Cutting To The Basket—Or I'm Subbing In Pete!”
The Referee blew the whistle! EARDRUM PUNCTURING: “Twwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee******!!!!!“
Shouting Thunderously:

"FOLLOW YOUR SHOT!!!"

—Over Fans—Up On Their Feet!!!
An Undefeated Team...
...Crushing The League
Rough/Mean: They're A Dunking Machine:
They were FASTER. They were STRONGER. They were BIGGER. They were TOUGHER:
...But we were gunning for the ring! Sinking buckets, Dropping jumpers and Hustling on D:

They had gotten into foul trouble

...As Number 23, fought-off the double team and got off the shot that had the buzzer beat!
Jordan dropped "ANOTHER 3!" With the clutchest release of anybody The Dean must’ve seen since the Bucks had Kareem
Their heads hung in defeat:
The shot clock stopped at

3:23

The score board read

100 — 3
They Were Only Up By 3!

—[MALFUNCTIONING]—





Coach Dean, draws up another scheme & Comes Up With A Speech:
“Some wish it would happen, some want it to happen, others make it happen:

"Which Ones Are We!?”

The sweat, pouring off #23's body—huffing and puffing with steam
#23: comforts his young team overrunned with fatigue

The NBA scouts are watching number #23 up in the luxury seats

The NBA Draft Is Your Chance To Make Reality Of What Once Was Your Dream

“The moneys guaranteed, but your minutes are not. So, play these last couple of minutes with All You've Got
Whole Bunch Of Belief…

ONE!

"TARHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Pom-Pom's Pumping. Drummers Drumming: Marching Band Trumpets Erupting
#23...Beating The Defender—off-of-the weak side: DUNKING ANDSTUFFING IT!!
#23 Ran The FloorAnd crashed the boards... Sneaker's Shuffled & Squeaked
—Defense—Wins—Championships—
D-FENCE:

D-FENCE:

“They Call Him Windex Man: Because He's Always Cleaning The Glass—Going Up For The RE!”
Fundamentals can be teached

But what #23, could do, under pressure, at crunch time, was something to see:

“With Authority! Yes, And It Counts! He’ll Go To The Line For One.”
#23cut the lead
