ditto on things with his father, the media needs to stay the hell away from this issue. you’re right, its private. cant we just talk about any of the hundred really amazing things victor can do on the court or in a particular game. also, victor is a great kid, his dad has always supported him as his SON not necessarily as a basketball player. who cares? this is way better than parents who are groveling over their kids future nba contracts and are obsessed with riding their coattails to fame. i think it just makes people uncomfortable in a sports obsessed society that there is a man who is more concerned about other things.

But enough of that. There’s so much else to concentrate on and openly cheer for. Victor’s NBA stock has risen astronomically, and that will be a boon to the hardworking kid. Maybe it could happen to a nicer guy, but Cody’s stock was already up there 😉 . Plus, Victor’s been a pure joy to watch these past few years. It’s good enough that the team has come such a long way since the dark days, but to also come this way with such an enjoyable personality is icing on the cake. We’re all just happy and fine with Cody’s equanimity, but having Victor’s bounce-off-the-walls enthusiasm is an unexpected and happy bonus.

You gotta love that.

Hoosier lore. This team has successfully added itself to it. Thank goodness for that.
