“nor that he gave in to the Empirical, Right brain ‘playful’ impulses that so often can keep #5s from seeing stardom”
Got to ask the obvious: might Johnny Manziel be a #5? What a great talent, but what a trainwreck off the field. Yikes.
There is an Empirical Right b-ball great who has overcome a lot and has remained business-like, however: LeBron James. Yes, his #1 emotions still sometimes get the better of him sometimes (tantrums on the court occasionally, especially ref-whining), as does his naivete (association with Jay-Z), but he’s managed to avoid a lot of the usual Empirical Right pitfalls en route to one of the greatest careers in NBA history. A certain quieter Empirical Right teammate of his, however, has become increasingly preoccupied with his looks, and shows no sign of letting up on lower-key media appearances that seem clearly designed to tempt his female fan base, however “playfully.” Distractions aside, these guys would still be on their way to easy rings this season were it not for two teams coached by B_ILs, the Spurs and the Warriors (Draymond Green, incidentally, appears to be the only Empirical Right star of these teams besides old man #2 Duncan, except possibly a #2 in Harrison Barnes, if you consider Barnes close enough to stardom; at any rate, I see Green as a very lively, likely #1 whose faith keeps his bubbly personality from bubbling completely over like an exploding soda).
Thanks for inspiring that b-ball rabbit trail.
