By conventional wisdom a 5'10" Michael Jordan was not selected for his varsity team in high school. Again in the 1984 NBA draft he was picked after a 7' Hakeem Olajuwon and 7'1" Sam Bowie. Jordan would soon prove his doubters wrong.
The Charlotte Hornets picked 6'6" Kobe Bryant in the 1996 draft and traded him for 7'1" Vlade Divac. The Hornets miscalculated the importance of Kobe's death stare and his obsession to win.
Are critics missing the Miami Heat's death stare, as a team, and drive to win, in spite of what others perceive as a lack of talent?
