My Take

Raymond Felton earns my respect as a true winner's-mentality guard. At North Carolina under Roy Williams he led the Tar Heels to a national championship before jumping to the NBA, and he then played fourteen seasons in the league, an astonishing run for any player. From Marion, South Carolina, and listed at 185 cm, he was undersized for the pro game, which makes that longevity all the more impressive to me. He wasn't a flashy superstar, but he was a steady floor general who stuck around through sheer competitiveness. I find that kind of durable, no-nonsense career genuinely admirable.
