Before their matchup with the Warriors, Mo Williams stood alone in the dark locker room. Lifting out a hidden panel that he had cut out of his locker, he revealed the shrine that gave him strength before every home game.
On the wall was a collage of pictures featuring him standing alongside his one true love. The love that had spurned him, that had betrayed him. In due time, Mo knew they would be reunited, and this thought was the light that had guided him out of those dark times.
Six candles ringed the outside, and a red headband lay at the center of the arrangement. Mo now lit these candles and closed his eyes, his heart being lifted up in pure joy as he reminisced. He knew that if he played well tonight, he might attract the attention of his lover.
“This one’s for you, LeBron.”
