"Around here, though, people don't treat me any differently. That's to be expected. I don't mind at all, being in the shadow of three Hall of Famers. I just want to learn all I can from them"

Reggie Lewis was a professional basketball player who bet the Boston Celtics in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was surrounded by three Hall of Famers, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish. Despite being in the shadow of these 3 greats, Lewis was not treated any in a different way by his teammates and the people around him. He was humble and accepted his role, and was eager to learn from the Hall of Famers. He was content with his location in the group and wanted to take a backseat to the three greats. He was not frightened by their existence and was willing to gain from them and take their guidance. He was a group player and wanted to do whatever it took to assist the team be successful. His attitude and humbleness were exceptional and he was an excellent example of how to be a team player.
