[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's completely bizarre to me too. It's not like the players are even from the team's local area - it's a weird, arbitrary association.

I get supporting a specific athlete, if you're familiar with their particular life story. But emotional over a big league team? Collected from all over? Weird. [/quote]

But some are. [b]Like last year the winning shot was made by a Gonzaga graduate and his "brother" (who also attended Gonzaga) was on the other team. Last night the "brother" won the national title and his brother was in the stands. [/b]

Also, even if you don't know these people personally can't you appreciate all the hard work they put in to get to this point. They have been working since they were 5 years old and now they are in the top 1% of the nation.

Can't you at least appreciate how monumental the accomplishment is?

NP here. Just to correct you:

A Villanova player (who's brother was on the Carolina team) had the winning shot against Carolina. This year, he was in the stands supporting his brother and team win against Gonzaga. Also - not sure why you put "brother" in quotations. They are adopted brothers. No need for quotations.
