22 মিনিট, 0 পয়েন্ট—কিন্তু এই ব্রুকলিন ছেলা পালাল তার পাড়া

কোর্টটি তার ‘পর্দা’—এটিছিল ‘আশ্রয়’

আমি dekhechi se jabe Pacers-এর court-এ: no flash, no spotlight, just jersey #33। 22মিনিট, 2 shot, 0 point, 3 rebound, 2 assist। A +33? No—a -33।

মানুষগুলো scroll kore tader stats ke weather er moto—highlight chay, humility nay।

কিন্তু ami jan—se grow up kore nai highlight reel-er moddhe। se grow up kore East New York-er corner court-e—jahan rim e ki loud ki quiet ta bujhi na. Value measure hoy na point diye—measure hoy how you hold space for someone’s dream。

The Cap That No One Noticed

সে cap peyechhe—not fashion er jonno, armor er moto।

cap ta jemon tar gaze ke shield korechilo jokhon se har somoy miss shot er bhar beriyechechilo。

তার teammates cheer korche nai—he didn’t need them to。

pada-e je stories likho na stars er upor—se likhlo silence diye。

When Stats Lie About Souls

amra abar worth measure kori box score diye: PPG, RPG, APG—but quiet shift gulo? pick-and-roll? subtle assist? rebound jekhan ke someone ke fall theke rakhe?

ta ra stats nay—they soulprints।

Karruso scoreboard change korene—he change korechilo how we look at the kid on the bench—who never speaks but still holds space for everyone’s dream。

atai khubu ami lekhi shunno der jonno。
