I know that I could be accused of laziness for this next winner, but who, actually reading this, would dream of accusing me of laziness? Nobody, that’s who. I could just as easily accuse all the people born on January 25, 1970, of laziness in the advancement of their careers, which I won’t do, not even in the case of Chris Mills: after all, he was a pivotal asset in the New York Knickerbockers’ 1999 Latrell Sprewell acquisition.

Today’s Winner, then, will be Seiji Chihara, simply because his name is so much fun to type on a keyboard. Go ahead. Try it yourself.
