And...The game isn't over, until it's over. And, as a very competitive athlete myself, when I could still run :( I would not have wanted this ... my own team feeding me the ball? Sure. The opposing team doing it? Condescending. That said ... I'm sure that wasn't what his opponent was thinking, and it was well intentioned and . . . I'll give you, classy. Then again ... would he have done the same thing if his team could have won with a basket? If so, it's not so much classy as an acknowledgement that they couldn't win. It's nice for the kid who made the basket, I guess ... but I'd always be thinking, "Yeah, but they let me have it." I'd rather try my hardest and come up short than be given something and succeed . . .maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-71737671407607646862013-03-02T12:48:24.120-08:002013-03-02T12:48:24.120-08:00They were already up plenty with seconds left.

Maybe well intentioned, but totally condescending. I would have been proud enough to get in to the game ... you don't do people favors by letting them win.maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-82477752050333945752013-02-28T14:46:46.187-08:002013-02-28T14:46:46.187-08:00Link doesn't work.Link doesn't work.mmazenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602797515366983639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-88995130279130670772013-02-28T05:18:20.435-08:002013-02-28T05:18:20.435-08:00Hadn't seen it.
