"I wanted to pass like Magic, jump like Mike, shoot like Bird and cover the ball like Zeke," says Ben Wallace. "But none of that worked out so I decided to play defense and rebound." --GQ November 2006 issue
As an avid Miami Heat fan, I'm bummed about the World Champions 42-point loss to the Chicago Bulls.
Led by D-Wade and Shaq, The Heat seem to play hard only for the post-season run, while coasting in the 82-game regular season. But I have to give props to the Baby Bulls. They showed up to play at AAA (American Airlines Arena) during the 2006 NBA season opener.
Meanwhile, Ben Wallace -- formerly a center from the Detroit Pistons -- wins my award for the most re-invented sports figure.
Once again, here's that Ben Wallace quote from the November issue of GQ magz.

My frugal/personal finance/business application: Be real about your limitations and strengths. Take an honest inventory of your assets and adjust your spending and strategy. Focus on the bottom line.
In Rule #1, the best-selling book about investments, the author makes the same point:
Invest your money based on what you know. Play to your strengths.
