"Don't get surprised just yet; the Magic didn't put in God's Left Hand Chris Mullin, but Sarunas Marciulionis. If you can't tell Saru and Chris apart, just remember, Chris is the one with the uglier hairstyle,"
NBC commentator Bob Costas made a cold joke commonly said about the Warriors as soon as he saw Saru take the floor.
The moment he saw Saru enter the game, that cold joke was his first reaction.
Beyond that, he didn't think much of Saru—he didn't feel like Saru was the guy who could change the course of the game. After all, he might play for a maximum of two minutes before being subbed out.
Even the Magic fans themselves thought so.
The Magic fans had no prejudice against Saru, acknowledging him as a good person throughout Orlando.
But as Roger said, "good person" was just like "so," not a term used to describe a successful athlete.
Good people can't help you win games; good people can't help you score points.
Would you count on a good person pulled from the DNP list?
