I once asked my father, “Would you read a column about how underrated Tim Duncan is?” Dad made a face. He played with his hair. He seemed confused. “A whole column on Tim Duncan?” “You wouldn’t read it?” “I don’t think so. I’d see the headline, skim the first two paragraphs, and flip to the next article.” “Seriously? He’s the best player of the past ten years!” “Nahhhhhhh,” Dad maintained. “Nobody wants to read about Tim Duncan. He’s not that interesting.”
