My Take
James Posey is exactly the kind of player I respect most. At 6-foot-8 he bounced through Denver, Memphis, Miami, Boston, New Orleans, and Indiana, never the headline star but always the glue, the championship piece coaches quietly covet. From Cleveland to Xavier to the NBA, and now an assistant coach in Portland, he has built a life entirely inside the game. I find his story more compelling than any superstar arc: it is about doing the unglamorous work that actually wins titles. That kind of professional steadiness deserves far more credit than it usually gets.
