When the playoffs started, Millsap, still in his development phase, couldn't hold up from the second round onwards. Coach and Brother Three summoned him, and he had to immediately step up to carry the team's coordination banner, battling against Gasol and Kwame Brown. He couldn't falter... Luckily, they got the championship in the end! In his view, all these sacrifices were worth it!
The truly pure 'ornament' was only Magloire, really only when his center teammate got injured that he had the chance to play for a few minutes. But the Bobcats centers had good injury situations this year; his daily routine was driving his second-hand car to and from work, snagging some nutritional meals from the team, and by the end of the season, his face had rounded out quite a bit, not to mention snagging a championship!
Magloire demonstrated with his actions what 'choice over effort' truly means!
