Lakers vs Mavericks. Talent vs Character.
I’m not a Mavericks or a Lakers’ fan. This post is not about basketball, but about character. Yesterday, Lakers center Andrew Bynum was ejected in the fourth quarter of Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals sweep by Dallas after a dirty foul on Dallas Mavericks reserve guard J.J. Barea. With the Mavericks winning 98-68, Barea drove to the basket and put up a floater. Bynum entered the lane and delivered a hard elbow to Barea’s ribs. Barea landed hard on the ground as the referee immediately called a flagrant foul and threw Bynum out of the game. You can watch it in the video below. It was so bad that ESPN announcer, Mike Tirico said “And that is one of the biggest bush league things I’ve ever seen! That is terrible!“. Interestingly, Bynum had just come off a two-game suspension for another flagrant foul.
Here what Mr. Bynum’s behavior tells me:
1. Our talents can only take us as far as our character is able to hold us.
2. Talent alone does not make a man.
3. Last year’s trophy means nothing.
4. Our true self will come out when we are under the most stress.
5. Our actions, not our intentions define us.
What else would you add? Am I being too harsh?
