If it’s one thing that we can truly appreciate about Syracuse Orange fans is their loyalty. It’s okay if we criticize someone from the Syracuse “family.” But if anyone outside the circle dares to do the same, Orange fans jump to defend them (S’up Tom Crean). Derrick Coleman and Dion Waiters have been examples of this loyalty, but their recent efforts on and off the court have been met with applauding rather than defending.
Dion’s new contract with the Miami Heat means a lot more than he’s getting paid well to play basketball.
