Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. 
Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players.

Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters

Not long ago, the Seattle SuperSonics signed a nine-figure broadcast contract with the local television station.
