Joel Freeland

What gets me about Joel Freeland is the geography of his ambition. A 208 cm kid from Farnham, England, picking basketball in a football-mad country, then grinding his way to the Portland Trail Blazers and ultimately CSKA Moscow at Europe's summit. That is not a path you stumble into. I respect the British national-team service too, anchoring a program that rarely gets headlines. He never had the easy lane, and that quiet stubbornness is exactly the kind of athlete I find myself rooting for long after the buzzer.
