Side note: The Jazz DID interview Ace Bailey. In fact they kind of interviewed him twice because Austin Ainge who was with Boston ant the time interviewed him while he was there. Ace didn’t do a workout with the Jazz. I also think it’s notable that this agent his is first client and he really didn’t do a stand up job haha
Oh fascinating. I didn’t know that! Thanks for the correction.
Agreed re: Omar cooper. I get that everyone starts somewhere but having a potential star fall in your lap and immediately causing negative press is super unfortunate.
It’s been a while since I’ve heard the term “fortune favors the bold.” Love that for me. I happen to be bold. Bolder as I grow older, even. (But not when I grow colder.) Perhaps that’s why I’m so fortunate.
With that said, an important fallacy to note — don’t become complacent or “tolerate grief” when you win.
Sometimes, we win out of sheer luck. Not because we made the right call. The last thing I want to do is to justify flawed decision-making just because it *worked out.*
I think that fortune favors the bold when they’re taking calculated risks. It’s like “creating luck by being prepared”. I get that, theoretically.
But youre exactly right. Sometimes bad decisions work out. That doesn’t make them good decisions, and we need enough clarity to recognize those moments.
