Athlete of the Year
From the Guardian -
My picks for athlete of the year are the ones who carried that weight
By Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Today’s athletes have to carry a lot more baggage than a smelly gym bag and the giddy dreams of their parents. If they hope to achieve true greatness (or GOAT-ness) – and not just fleeting athletic notoriety – they also have to shoulder the leg-wobbling weight of responsibility to the community. This responsibility can come in different forms: charity work, as a role model and/or political activism. At the same time as they’re pushing the boundaries of their sport, they have to help define and promote the values of their community, even if that goes against some of the members of that community. That kind of athlete needs as much courage off the court as they do on it. Maybe more. With that in mind, in no particular order, here are my picks for athlete of the year, based on conduct most becoming a professional athlete.

The Grinch
It could be head wasn't screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But we think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small. https://t.co/Vf44qMAj8m— New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) December 22, 2018

Everyone’s got their thing
Their own fears.
Their own narrative.
Their own drama.
You’re not the only one.
On any given day, your thing is smaller than their thing.
And when things aren’t going the way you expect, it’s worth focusing on that.
