Great story Gary. I want to meet James some day.
I was telling James I was really proud of him.
I told Mika I was super proud of him because I would have fought the kid.
. . . and I really wanted to tear the coach a new one for his cavalier attitude but since the kid stopped the personal attacks and kept it to basketball and on the court, I figured it was a good (and somewhat safe) opportunity for James to handle it on his own.
He's a really good kid with a lot of empathy for others. I just wish he wasn't so absent minded about his responsibilities.
