We thought our viewers should catch a recent article titled, “The consummate professional,” talking about a man who was voted the recipient of the 2015 Magic Johnson award, which was “named for the player in NBA history who most understood and appreciated the media’s job as messenger to the public.” The recipient this year was Pau Gasol (#15 FCIL), a player we’ve touched upon a number of times in the past for his hard work ethic and mature behavior with players and the paparazzi. Of course, Magic Johnson is a #1 FEAR, who was particularly known for treating the media with respect (ulike his #10 BCAR teammate, Kareem Abdul Jabbar). The first NBAer to take home the award years ago was another #1, Ray Allen, followed by Elton Brand (#1 FEAR), Dirk Nowitzki (#10 BCAR), Chris Bosh (#13 FCIR), Grant Hill (#10 BCAR) and Antawn Jamison (#9 FCAR). Looking at the stats, Gasol is the first Left brainer to take home the trophy!
In contrast, we thought these quotes from the article were rather amusing.
Thank you for this article. It is much needed. BTs are NOT so much about who is fun-loving, friendly, kind, or responsible – those are CHARACTER ISSUES, not BT traits – but about motor skills and cognitive skills. Alone, the facts that Christian Laettner and Pau Gasol share the same BT, as do Magic and Kendrick Perkins, and Jordan Spieth and Howard Stern, should tell us volumes. Stop insisting Right brainers are clowns who fail elementary school because of ADHD. Stop insisting Inanimate Left brainers can’t be adaptable and nice because left brain supposedly equals boring impersonal rigid accountant. Stop insisting this nonsense. That’s not BT, it’s personality typing, and it’s utter garbage and drivel. You guys have done much better about this the last two years than you did from 2008-2012 when you resorted to inane stereotypes. Thank you for moving on and seeing the truth.
