Opponents forget your stats by the next season. They remember if you helped them up after a hard foul.

Scorelines fade and conduct does not. An opponent will not remember how many points you scored, but they will remember the hand that came down to pull them up when they were flattened, because that happened to them personally. Sport makes small gestures unusually visible, and the memory of them outlasts the result by years.

Help somebody up this week, on the court and off it, including somebody from the other side. Say the one decent sentence when a game turns ugly. It costs nothing in competitiveness and it is the part people carry home.
