I think we use the term "courage" way too much in the world of sports these days, but in the case of Chris Wright, it more than fits. I had a flashback to him sitting on the bench at the end of the VCU game with that utterly forlorn, heartbroken look on his face. To see what he's accomplished in the face of adversity since that point is nothing short of remarkable. Not sure I've ever been happier to see a Hoya make the league.

Never liked him as a Hoya, but good luck to him in the NBA. Wow, didn't know about the MS.

SUcks killer. Number 6 in assists after missing almost his entire freshman year, and of course, breaking his hand junior year. For me, at least, hard not to like.

Chris is signed but won't join the team until Wednesday's practice. Don't expect him to play much (especailly now that the Mavs have won four straight), but Mavs' brass say that they're in the market for a long-term point guard and think CW may fill the bill. He'll get a lot of practice time - it's a great opportunity for him.

Chris got into the Mavs game tonight in the last minute and blew by his many for a layup with a few seconds left.
Unfortunately, he had the same number of many baskets as DSR tonight.

Chris played one minute (approximately) and went 1-1. Extrapolating, that'll make him an NBA All-Star soon enough. Amazing courage, amazing perseverance.
