All I ever wanted was Bird’s game,
quietly telling opponents the spot on the floor where he
would
rise, after a screen and two dribbles, in the corner like a

Under the bright lights of this metaphor, I’m digging deep,
not
vanishing when it matters most, to find the heart to take a
shot
when the clock winds down to nothing.
Bird, Tomás Q. Morín
