Travel Team, Mike Lupica, pg 1-57

In the the nvoel theTravel Team to of the main charcters Danny Walker and Richie Walker relate very well to how the game of basketball has changed over the years Richie walker is a former star athlete who in his day and time was a prototypical point gaurd small in stachure could handle the ball very well hit the open shots and be an extension of the coach on the court. Now his son danny on the other hand is the same type of player his father that his dad is small flashy popint gaurd can handle the rock and do the exact things his father use to do but the difference in the two is that in Richie Walkers day and time a small flashy point gaurd was good but over the years the small flashy ppoint gaurd was replaced by the bigger stronger gaurd. this situation relates perfectly to today where in the in basketball size is everything

Jeremy...good comparison. I'd like you to push it further and elaborate a bit more. A great way to do that would be to provide some examples of players who you see fit the new mold vs. players of the old mold. Are we talking about Spudd Web here?
