Little crazy random story. My mother was not a big basketball fan, actually not a big sports fan. Occasionally my mother would attend one of my basketball games, always worried that I would "catch my death of cold" playing in the cold winter but sweating from playing in a gym. I still laugh thinking of the time I went to the bench during a game and felt something land on my back. My mother had thrown down her sweater on my back to avoid my inevitable death from getting chilled in the gym. I was dying from heat but had to laugh.

Back to Pearl. I was at the game and like everyone else was so psyched about it. Talked to my mother the next day, Sunday, when she surprised me hearing her so excited after watching reruns on the news and reading the Sunday paper. She kept saying "That Pearl is just wonderful isn't he? I can understand why you love seeing him play". ( she obviously didn't understand why I wanted to take the physical punishment playing though) The next night, Monday night, she called so excited saying "I can't believe he did it again. Wow, he's so special. I'm surprised you're home though". After asking who is special and why wouldn't I be home at 9pm, I realized she just watched a game replay of the SU-BC game on tv and thought that Pearl had hit another game winner.

Mothers are so special and seeing Pearl over the years reminded me every time I saw him - his run to call his mom after THE shot and the connection with my own mother. My mother was right as usual  - he is so special.
