It is a high honour and privilege to have the job I have,” said Power.
If you had asked me 10 years ago, would I be working in Formula 1, I would have laughed at you for a very long time.
- When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
- If youre paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes fit in a doghouse? None! Icecream doesn't have bones!!!
I guess his hair transplant has rooted in enough now he can do that Marginally better than the long pube look he's been rocking for the last few months!!
He needs to learn about style. This is one of my favourite athletes when I was a teen.
He did alright for a kid who grew up eating imagination sandwiches - an imagination sandwich is two pieces of bread and you imagine the filling.
Nasty piece of work is Isiah - that spell in New York was a colossal clusterfuck. Touch, tough dude though, used to kick his defender in the shins as he was dribbling to create space - the co-ordination required for that boggles my mind.
The douchebagery that Lewis attempted in the final race last year though is absolutely something Isiah would have tried though. Really interesting dude.
They all try something though. You try to get into the head of your opponent at that level. I just use to love watching him drive for the basket. I'll be honest and I don't know much about his life after his playing career but he seems to carry himself well even if he did rub people up the wrong way.
That smile was deceptive. He got into a sexual assault situation when he was with the Knicks - which is literally rubbing someone up the wrong way!!
He is someone I find incredibly interesting.
Also an interesting comparison to Lewis who looks and acts like a bit of a douche but I think has good intentions most of the time. Where as Isiah had that big smile and is a super smooth talker but was a magnet for controversy with his MJ freeze out in the 85 All Star game, his Larry Bird comments, not getting picked for the Dream Team, running the CBA into the ground then the stuff with the Knicks.
An interesting contrast of image and substance between those two.
People used to pick on Stewart for saying the sport was unsafe, or Schumacher for being a dick in his pre-Ferrari days, or Lauda for taking the sport so seriously and treating it like a business, or Hunt for not taking it seriously or Brabham for being shy and driving like a speedway driver, or Hulme for winning a championship when he didn't win all the races, or Hawthorne for having kidney diseases or.... etc, etc.
I struggle to think of 5 drivers who were universally loved, or at least liked to an extent where people didn't run their mouths off.
Clark, Amon and Senna, and even Senna is questionable, Amon was just too damn nice to do anything in the sport and the only reason Clark never made enemies was because he was either too shy or too busy with his many girlfriends to get into any sort of trouble.
Hell, a lot of the reasons why top drivers get scorned so much is the fact that they're the best of the best and the rest of us have to tear them down to our standards somehow, Except Lewis, he's a tool.
