My Take
What I admire about Matthew Dellavedova is that he built a career on grit rather than gifts. The Australian guard out of Saint Mary's was never the most athletic name on a roster, yet he ground his way into the 2016 NBA championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers and earned a reputation as a relentless, occasionally infuriating defender. To me, his bronze with the Boomers at Tokyo 2020 says even more, a player giving everything for the national team. He represents a type I always root for: the undersized overachiever who outworks more talented players and refuses to be cut.
