Multi-Billionaire Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 It was a few minutes after 3 p.m. today – Nuggets practice ended around 2 – and Arron Afflalo was the only Nugget on the Pepsi Center practice court, shooting and shooting and shooting. There are a lot of things to hate about sports these days, but Arron Afflalo is a constant reminder about what’s to love about sports. He’s a good athlete who wants to be great. He has a blue-collar work ethic. He loves defense. He is constantly in the gym. At media day, he told me he had spent so much summer time working out, that he felt he was in “midseason form.” In scrimmages, he cherishes the chance to guard Carmelo Anthony, because he knows it can make him better. And he has been working diligently at adding moves to his offensive game, to make himself more of a threat. After a recent tiring practice, he attempted 93 3-pointers, making 70 of them. http://blogs.denverpost.com/nuggets/2010/10/04/who-is-the-hardest-working-denver-nuggets-player/ Love this guy to death...

Dr. Feelgood Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 He's a very underrated player in the league. I like his game though, great shooter, great defender, does all the work that no one wants to, and usually guards the other team's best player. He reminds me of Shane Battier.
