Flushing, NY- Queens College Men's Basketball sophomore David Grady III  '22 shares his thoughts in the fifth edition of "WHAT I KNOW NOW"

Dear Basketball 
We miss you
For one, this entire year has been weird
With the deaths of heroes and the introduction of a new unexplainable virus
The world is in a fragile state and in a sort of limbo
In the midst of that confusion and of these dire times
you've been taken away from the ones that love you and which has hit just as hard
From the high school games, to the NCAA, all the way up to the NBA
you stretch your arms around the world and squeeze it with an amazing energy
From humble beginnings in the mind of Naismith to becoming a global phenomenon
you've become a staple in the daily lives of many
As a result some of us may take you for granted and not realize just how special you truly are
You give people opportunity
A hope that is unmatched
You are global peace
You create families between complete strangers
You make friendships that can last a lifetime
You motivate the masses
Creating the greatest stories of triumph and overcoming the odds
You give the tall man a place to belong and the small man a place to show he belongs
Basketball you are the rival of a pandemic
The greatest fear of social distancing because you are what brings the most unlikely of people together
Basketball you are my greatest friend and I can't wait 'til we meet again

Yours truly,
The people
