Some of you may be old enough to remember Swen Nater. This brief article about Swen, and his enthusiastic acceptance of a backup role to help make Bill Walton the best center in the nation and UCLA the best team in the nation is inspiring. The term “team” is overused and even abused, but sacrificing your own personal goals is the ultimate indicator of a true team player. Swen went onto a very good career in the NBA and in his life afterward. Do you make those around you better?
