That's the magic of it. Oh, sure, there is money in being in it and carrying off a metal. But for the athletes, for the best of them, they may come in with one mind set, but they leave with quite another. That is what struck me when I saw this quote from The Big Girl, Brittney Griner:
“I keep talking to ‘E’ (Delle Donne) about how we’ve got to do what ‘D’ (Taurasi) and Sue did – that could be us, with Stewie (21-year-old forward Brianna Stewart) as well,” the 25-year-old Griner said. “That could be us. … We’re still young. We’re still learning. We just got our diapers off.”
Can you feel the heat and enthusiasm in that? It's genuine and it is, for the true sports fan, so much fun.
