My Take

Wayne Ellington earns my respect as a man who mastered one craft completely. Forged at the storied University of North Carolina, he became the NBA shooter nicknamed the Man With The Golden Arm. The beauty of his three-point stroke, fired from a 193 cm frame, speaks not only of talent but of countless hours of disciplined repetition. He never needed superstar flash; teams trusted that when he let it fly, it would fall. Now passing his expertise to young players as a development coach with the Miami Heat, he shows a generous second act. I find real warmth in that kind of career.
