Does ABA employment qualify you for PTSD benefits?
During this year’s March Madness, the Washington Post (Motto: Yes, We Will Write About Hillary’s Cleveage) published a “Where Is He Now?” article about Byron Mouton, member of the Maryland Terps 2002 men’s basketball champs.
Where is he now? Hmmm. Take a read.
Mouton invests himself emotionally in Wilmington’s success, which his teammates generally view as pathetic. In a league that comprises players obsessed with building stat lines that please scouts, Mouton prides himself on leadership and self-sacrifice in pursuit of winning. During a pregame meal at Chick-fil-A in late February, Mouton tried to excite his teammates for a game against the Jacksonville Jam.
“I’ve been looking on the ABA message boards,” Mouton said. “Jacksonville is like number eight in the league power rankings. That’s a few spots ahead of us.”
“Nobody cares about this league, man,” said Terrence Todd, Mouton’s teammate. “Eat your chicken nuggets.”
