when athletes are magical...

There is something beautiful about watching a rookie (in any sport and at any level of competition) rise up to or completely exceed expectations. This phenomena was put on brilliant display last night when the 19 year old Bruno Caboclo- a rookie touted by the same big name scout as both the Brazilian Kevin Durant as well as, "two years away from being two years away," and by most onlookers as a bizarre draft selection for the rising Raptors- made his NBA debut last night.

Also digging Bruno's joie de vivre in the pic below!
