Justin Holiday smiles too much. Why is he smiling all the time? Basketball is fun, yeah, I get that, but he’s a professional. Professionals in the NBA don’t smile. There is no joy for them. This is their job, it’s not just a game anymore. Is hitting a three worth smiling about? No. Your teammates are allowed to smile a little bit if it’s an especially impressive shot, but you yourself can only glare and look angry about the whole situation.
Last time I hit seven triples in a pickup game, which was the only time I hit seven triples in a pickup game, and, full disclosure, this was against middle-schoolers about two years ago, I was cool as a cucumber about it. No taunting, no smiling, nothing. Just running back on D so I could smack their weaksauce layup attempts into the next spatial dimension. And that’s how it should be.
