Patience is a virtue that all humans possess. The levels can vary depending upon the individual, but it is certainly a characteristic that can be developed over time. For the majority, it usually comes out once we reach adulthood and more specifically when we have children. It’s rare that people develop a mature level of patience going through their high school and college years, but Atlanta Hawks point guard Malcolm Delaney was one of the few.
Delaney was an elite high school player coming out of Towson Catholic in Baltimore, Maryland. In 2006 he earned Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Maryland amongst many other postseason honors and eventually committed to play his collegiate career at Virginia Tech.
