Empty the Bench

As they say, in the NBA no trait is more respected than hustle — which includes a willingness to slam a basketball off an opponent’s genitals in order to save a routine loose ball. It’s on full display in this U.S. Army advert as Hanzlik hits the deck to get a rebound and then delivers a vicious blow to the groin of this unsuspecting Celtic. You gotta love the way Bill excitedly pops back up, jabbing his finger towards his fallen adversary’s shorts and, if I can read lips, exclaims, “Money shot, money shot!”

Remember: giving that extra effort makes winners. Be all you can be.
