My Take

T. J. Ford is exactly the kind of player I gravitate toward: proof that the game rewards vision over size. Out of Houston and the University of Texas, he won the 2003 John R. Wooden Award, college basketball's highest individual honor, and was named National Freshman of the Year before going eighth overall to the Milwaukee Bucks. As a point guard he had to win with speed, court vision and fearlessness rather than physical dominance. I find that brand of basketball deeply watchable. The flashy scorers grab headlines, but the floor general who makes everyone better is the one true connoisseurs remember.
