I just finished watching Alge's press conference for earlier today and this guy all class...not Mr. Classy class, but a real down-to-earth, soft-spoken guy. I totally understand why he was voted a captain in his first year here. If you have a chance, watch the video here:
Alge Crumpler Press Conference - 1/11/2011
There are 2 things that stood out to me in the presser. First, when asked about the development of Rob and Aaron, he says he's really proud of "His guys". He takes total ownership of his teaching role on this team and he seems to take it very seriously. Secondly, he was asked about playing for BB and how it's different from the other places he played. He said he really appreciate the opportunity BB has given him and the professionalism he conducts himself with. He also said that he wished he could have been here earlier in his career.
He could have taken pot-shots at his old team, a-la LaToya (Mr Classy), but instead was his humble self and was just happy to be here and have this chance to win something.
If there ever was a vet that deserves a Ring, it's Alge. So let the rallying cry be, "Win one for Alge!".
