My Take

Rick Rickert is a towering 6 ft 11 figure whose story I find quietly moving. Born in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1983, he was a local legend at Duluth East High School and was named 2001 Minnesota Mr. Basketball before heading to the University of Minnesota as a heavily recruited prospect. I always think about the pressure that comes with being everyone's great hope so young; the professional game is unforgiving, and expectations like that cut both ways. Yet the title he earned back home can never be taken from him. A kid sweating in a snowbound Duluth gym who captured an entire state's attention, that alone warms me.
