The Meaning of "Wow"

This isn't about sports.  Really.  Honest.  The background explanation requires sports, but that's it.  The video is not about sports.  Honest.

On Thursday, the NBA had its college draft.  And the Chicago Bulls selected Coby White of the University of North Carolina as their top pick and the #7 player overall in the entire league.  This is a big deal.  And one would understand his emotion wanting to talk about himself being such a high draft choice -- at any time, but especially in this era of Look at Me personal hype.

So, watch his reaction in this -- his personal moment of glory when he sat down to meet with the press immediately after being drafted as the seventh top player in America to talk about himself, his moment in the sun upon moving from college life into the adult world, being a top draft choice in the National Basketball selection, his chance to front and center and talk about himself -- when he is told by a reporter about his college teammate Cameron Johnson who had moments before been selected as the #11 selection.

Even if I wasn't a Bulls fan, I'd love this guy.  But happily, I am.  Even forgetting how good he is -- good enough to be the #7 draft choice in the nation -- what person wouldn't want him as a teammate?  Or a friend?!  Or just to know that somewhere on the planet Earth he exists?!!
