Adam Morrison

Adam Morrison is one of those names that makes me think about how cruel sports can be. At Gonzaga in 2005-06 he was electric, a Naismith and Wooden Award finalist and one of the best college scorers in the country, mustache and all. The hype was enormous. But the NBA never quite clicked for him, and the gap between college legend and pro reality became his story. I don't read that as failure, though. He won championships riding the bench in Los Angeles and later turned to coaching. Sometimes the most honest careers are the ones that don't follow the script we wrote in advance.
