Anderson Varejão

Anderson Varejao is exactly the type of player I treasure. The unmistakable curly hair was the trademark, but the substance was relentless hustle, rebounding, and selfless defense. What moves me most is loyalty: he spent thirteen of his fourteen NBA seasons with Cleveland, a rarity in an era of constant movement. Stars score the points, but teams win because of grinders who throw their bodies around without asking for credit. That he stayed on with the Cavaliers as an ambassador and development consultant says plenty about how the franchise valued him. I love this kind of blue-collar craftsman.
