With his replacement maybe coming back soon, and a rookie making moves, James Johnson is receding.
There has to be a moment when jealousy and resentment are right there, waiting to be embraced. Does it happen when you're told you won't play tonight? Or when your replacement, a rookie no less, makes a startling play in the open court? You cheer, of course, for everything that happens because you want your team to win. And because you're a professional. But jealous, resentment, they have to be there, even for just a brief flickering moment. It's an all to human feeling, easy to achieve and hard to shake.
