After Duke’s sensational outing against Kentucky, the starters got most of the attention. Truth is though every team needs someone who is willing to do whatever needs to get done. In a short story by one of our favorite writers, a boy’s father advises him to farm saying bluntly “somebody’s got to dig in the damn dirt.”
Mark Cuban put it differently when former NC State star Adam Harrington was briefly a Dallas Maverick, saying “they guys like him and someone has to get the doughnuts.”
Both statements focus on the same idea and that’s that most people just get to work hard and do their best.
