How to be Ridiculously Impressive

B3ginobili_2 Yesterday the National Basketball Association announced its All NBA teams.  For those of you who don't follow pro basketball, this news comes to us as a way to highlight the top 15 basketball players on the planet. 

Here's how it works: first teamers are the absolute best, second teamers are slightly less amazing and third teamers ... you get the picture.  Making the list is one of my favorites, Manu Ginobili.  Ginobili is regarded as one of the best all around players but what makes him unique is something else.

He plays fewer minutes than any of the other 14 All NBA players and even more ridiculous, he doesn't start a single game.

It's not always who is on the floor to start the game.  It's who finishes that matters.  In you workplace, are you a finisher?  Can the boss count on you to stay late or lock up?  Here's to you Manu.

Who needs to finish things? I'm a great starter! I'm willing to start anything! (well, almost!)

:-)

seeing ginobili in my reader makes me want to barf. he's everything bad about sports, in that he constantly complains to the refs and flops.

but good article anyhow :)
