A heterodox in the center of glamor;An aspiring successor from Larry Bird in the Lakers;an answer in the kingdom of good customs;A whim by Jordan who ends up next to Kobe.For a couple of days Adam Morrison (Glendive, Montana, 1984) accompanies Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol in his attempt to conquer the NBA title.Larry Brown, the demanding and technical cascarrabias of the Charlotte Bobcats, tired of waiting for Morrison, with which he also never made good crumbs.After two and a half seasons in the NBA, Montana's cowboy hopes to exploit its 203 centimeters of eaves at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Son of a basketball coach, Adam Morrison began to stand out at the Spokane Institute, but when he was studyand lost 14 kilos.There began the legend of a player capable of living with his illness and taking his team to the state final;He lost it, but he, despite playing with hypoglycemia, scored 37 points.
Great scorer
With a healthy diet and continuous reviews, diabetes has never been a problem for Morrison.Sport also helps him.He cleared any questions at the University of Gonzaga, in which he stayed for three years.In his third season, he scored more than 30 points on thirteen (5 above 40), massacred Loyola with 37 in the last twenty minutes.But its brilliant performance (28.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per party) was somewhat tarnished by the defeat in the quarterfinals of the University League against UCLA.His tears after Gonzaga wasted an advantage of 17 points moved Michael Jordan, who chose him for the Charlotte Bobcats.
He had a good premiere in the NBA.In just three months, he averaged 14 points per game.But the admirable athlete who two and a quarter before each game needs to zamp a grilled steak with boiled potato and a few peas and that every thirty minutes and in dead times he checked the sugar level of his blood has politically incorrect tastes.
Contestary
From its university times, it retains an unmistakable mustacho product of a bet, a look of the seventies and leftist ideals.Che Guevara, Karl Marx and Larry Bird are three of the references of a morrison that in Gonzaga responded to the request of his coach to pray every day with a painted in his office: "Religion is the opium of the people."
Too much for the Pacata North American Society.The Morrison star was diluted until in the 2007-08 preseason suffered a breakage of the anterior cross ligament of the left knee.A year blank.
Of the 29 minutes he played every night in his campaign as a rookie he spent at 15 in the current one;Its scoring average descended from 11.8 points to 4.5.The avid reader of Marx and Bird's EMULO costs him to survive in the Empire of the Muscle.From now on he will try in the kingdom of Glamor, of the Lakers Showtime.
