I despised you in college, and was pretty ticked when the Magic drafted you. Thought you was just another overhyped, entitled, pretty-boy Dukie, and the first couple years in the NBA seemed to confirm that prejudice. Can't think of any other athlete that has changed my mind so thoroughly; your professionalism and deep-down commitment to fulfilling every last bit of your potential is like nothing I have seen. I have no doubt you'll have a long and successful career, so good luck bud.
