Young B-Ball player is a FOJ
The Washington Times reports on two outstanding freshmen who play for Georgetown’s basketball team. One of them, 6′8″ Jeff Green, is a friend of Jane.
But just because he admires [Allen] Iverson’s game and wears cornrows, don’t think Green is destined for rebel star status. His favorite book is “Pride and Prejudice.” And you won’t see a tattoo on him, now or ever.
“No, I can’t do that to my body,” says Green. “I guess I’m kind of old-fashioned. I like the old ways, you know, old values.”
This Cub Reporter cringes at the thought of this young man in today’s NBA.

I think that personally he would be a refreshing addition to professional sports. Someone who values the written word can do a lot of good in a high profile organization like the NBA. Perhaps he can convince more of the basketball followers to pick up a book occasionally. I am sure even Ms. Austen herself would think it beneficial in expanding their social network beyond that of sport.
