After all, a piece on your team’s best player shouldn’t call him lazy in the first sentence:<\/p>\n

DACULA – Brian Cole will admit it – he’s lazy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The dude was like 6’9 version of Napoleon Dynamite, with a haircut. He also had a deadly hook shot, which his coach mentions, the helped his average a cool 19 points per game that year. I remember guarding him at practice watching him put it to work. The oaf would lumber down the block, seal with with arm, and toss the ball over his head. The hook wasn’t sexy, but money nonetheless. Have you ever even tried to shoot a hook shot before? It\u2019s practically impossible to aim for everyone who\u2019s not Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.<\/p>\n

It’s funny the article mentions him dominating everyone until they caught up to him in height. He ended playing Division 1 for UNC-Greensboro, but couldn’t carve out a role. He never really developed a game outside of the hook shot because he was, well, lazy.<\/p>\n
