You don't learn the game in the NBA. No, up there, you take the game you
have, and you hang on for dear life. Some, like Albert White and Korleone
Young and Dontonio Wingfield disappear into a minor-basketball abyss.
Others, like William Avery, find themselves sitting on an NBA bench
wondering whether they will ever get a real shot at the show. Only a rare few
burst through.
