‘‘This was a team game. I couldn’t have done it without them,” Smalley said. ‘‘The whole team winning makes an MVP possible.”
This simple statement was made by the Llewellyn Smalley the best player in the WAMAC. After a good butt kicking I begin to wonder how this guy can be this good and not play professionally. So thanks to the World Wide Web the search was on to find the true meaning of Llewellyn Smalley. I could not believe my eyes when the results came in. This guy never played high school basketball but got the opportunity to play for Hawaii Pacific University. Years ago Smalley was dropping 50 against military teams one thousands miles from WRAMC! HPU coach, Coach Sellitto, gave him a chance and look at the destruction it has caused the Warriors.
One thing I can say Llewellyn Smalley is probably the best military player in the last decade or so. But the most remarkable thing about Smalley is the simple fact of how humble he is when it comes to basketball. He always talks about the team and how being a part of a team builds character. It is safe to say that Smalley has created an atmosphere of unity with his Patriots which magnifies their individual talents ten fold.
Now when it comes to defending this guy just keeping him under 30 points is an accomplishment. Understand that Smalley has played against NBA talent, is HPU’s all-time leading scorer, he is a two time All-American, HPU’s career leader in three point’s scored, and has played over seas against the top European talent.
So is it really a Massacre to suffer defeat to a talented individual that elevates every fiber in his teammates. Could the Warriors break even if we bring in our own All-American scorer? Does it say anything about our team being able to play in the same gym as Smalley?
They say Knowledge is Power so will this Knowledge of the real Llewellyn Smalley, Empower the Warriors to step up to the plate and knock off Goliath once and for all!
