You can count the instances in which a grown adult man can excitedly and unexpectedly run up on both an NBA champion and NBA legend and have his presence welcomed with a smile on approximately one finger. For that reason, I respect the hell out of this Memphis fan for wasting no time in trying to slap some celebratory skin with Mike Miller and Penny Hardaway. Stadium security did what stadium security is paid to do, but the presence of mind to make the absolute most out of an unforgettable memory is uncharacteristic of someone that just knocked down a half-court heave. I would have more than likely been stuck frantically searching in circles for the nearest person to hug like Jim Valvano (RIP Jimmy V.) when NC State beat the buzzer to win the National Championship, so credit to that guy for keeping enough composure to know exactly who he wanted to share his enthusiasm with. The saying holds up, fortune does favor the bold...even when the bold ever-so-slightly overstay their 15 seconds of fame...
