I ran across the following article on the Milwaukee Bucks recent draft pick Joe Alexander, who played at Linganore high school just a little ways up I-70 from us in Frederick County. "Working hard" has become a meaningless cliche for a lot of kids who may believe they are working but have no real concept of what that means. Here is a kid who literally lived the game for years and is now in the NBA. (Of course, it also didn't hurt that he's 6'8''...)
