LOVE...

I remember back in the spring of my youth: the Twolves were playing the Pacers in a game that meant nothing in the standings. In the fourth quarter of the game, some rookie jumped and beat a Pacers defender for a rebound. The rookie I am talking about later developed into one of the best players of his era--or KG.

When KG grabbed that board, he did the best one armed windmail that has ever crossed my eyes. It was like you knew this kid would change the fortunes of the franchise--I wore an AND 1 shirt that year that read franchise. Little did I know but that rookie would be known as the franchise--my friends could not even pronounce what that word on my shirt read.

Loyalty is hard to come about these days. Loyalty is about Kirby Puckett signing for less to be with the team that made him a man. Loyalty is about standing up for you friends when you known that they are, in fact, dolts.

Loyalty is about unconditional love.
