"Hey, uncle, finally got to see you! You probably don't know just how much we've been looking forward to meeting you!"
Su Wan followed Reggie Miller from the Pacers' underground garage into the arena, meeting Donnie Walsh and Larry Bird at the doorstep of the locker room.
Walsh gave Su Wan a big hug as soon as he came up.
The enthusiastic gesture made Su Wan look at Reggie Miller slightly out of his element. Are you sure it was Larry Bird who wanted to draft me, and not the president of the Pacers?
Larry Bird shook his head speechlessly. When it was his turn to greet Su Wan, he simply said "Welcome."
Su Wan felt a different kind of pressure coming from him, the kind you find in:
A true powerhouse!
Unlike Michael Jordan, who only knew how to play basketball on the court.
