As an outsider you hear about how much passion there is in the community, but until you're in the spot it's hard to imagine there's a community that cares more about girls basketball than this one.

Clyde Drexler

As a young guy, he probably said and did some things that were perceived as being selfish, but he's a winner. All he's ever tried to do is play hard and maximize his talent on the court. He's a basketball junkie and when a guy is that talented you've got to love him.

I believe in empathy. I believe in the kind of empathy that is created through imagination and through intimate, personal relationships. I am a writer and a teacher, so much of my time is spent interpreting stories and connecting to other individuals. It is the urge to know more about ourselves and others that creates empathy. Through imagination and our desire for rapport, we transcend our limitations, freshen our eyes, and are able to look at ourselves and the world through a new and alternative lens.

The Teachers told us so, and they frowned when they looked at us.

And if you have no such friend,--and you want to write,--well, then you must imagine one.
