Answer: Don't count Chris Mullin out when it comes to achieving anything related to basketball.
People tried to discount the hick from French Lick as a serious NBA executive, or this other guy from West Virginia who could rain jump shots form as far as 63 feet. Both turned into stellar talents, one of them on the bench as well.
Mullin has drive and grit, and a competitive spirit that doesn't exist in 1% of the people in this country.
Toss him the keys to the gym if he wants them. That is, if he ever gave back the set he owned back then. He deserves the chance, especially after 25 years of failures.
