The man NBA star Stephen Curry recently called “The GOAT” has stood in front of microphones and repeatedly answered questions over the last month. Like many great basketball minds before him, he's talked about the challenges of defeating the opponent and offered up his gameplan on the best way to do so. When he speaks he's calm but clear; educated from experience but still learning as the challenges evolve.The Warriors coach Steve Kerr provided on him includes skills like “great awarene s, excellent communicator, smart decision-maker.“Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski called him “America's point guard,” which might seem unusual consideringhe's a5-7,79-year-old man who never played basketballbeyond thehigh school level.The man all three of the aforementioned basketball icons have fondly spoken of is Dr. Anthony Fauci,thedirector of https://www.storebaravens.com/Tony_Jefferson_Jersey.NFL the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a leaderin the national fight against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.MORE: “Right now we have a team that's a very powerful team, and that's the virus, and what we need to do is that we've got to play a full-court pre s,” in an interview with Krzyzewski on April 2.“I mean, we can't let them get the ball on the ground to dribble. We've just got to be all over thembecause that's the only tool we have right now.“Fauci has faced stiff competition before. During his senior year at Regis High School in New York, “Fauch,” as he was called then, was the captain of his high school basketball team. , the Registeam took a subway from Manhattan to the Bronx in 1958 for a game against rival Fordham Prep. Regis https://www.storebaravens.com/Mark_Andrews_Jersey.NFL had only one win in 17 games andFordham Prep hadeasily won the teams’ first matchup afew weeks prior.Nobody gave us a chance, Regis alum John Zeman told the WSJ. Everyone figured it was going to be a blowout.To make matters worse,Fordham Prep wasled byDonnie Walsh,an all-city guard whowent on to play collegiately atNorth Carolina, coachtheNuggetsand run thePacers andKnicks in the NBA. The 62 years sincehave muddied the details of the gamebut nobody on Regis has forgotten the result: a 64-51 victory for the Tony Fauci-led team.“I don't remember this game at all. I https://www.storebaravens.com/Alex_Lewis_Jersey.NFL don'tremember Fauci,” Walsh . “I'd like to say ‘I rememberhim and he's a tough little guy,’ but I just don't.“MORE: The Regis players sure remember Fauci, even if Walsh doesn't. They remember the leadership that was more impactful than the 10.2 points per game he averaged. And six decades later, they haven't forgotten Fauci leadingthem to take down Goliath.He wasnt a yeller, and he wasnt a rah-rah-rah guy, but everybody looked up to him, Tom McCorry, a cla smate and future college-basketball coach, https://www.storebaravens.com/Michael_Pierce_Jersey.NFL told the WSJ.He worked hard and he was very unselfish kind of the way he shows now. He really is the same person.Fauci got his bachelor's degree from Holy Cro s, then graduated first in his 1966 medical cla s from Cornell Medical College. He took over as director of NIAID in 1984 andhas advised six U.S. presidents on HIV/AIDS and other globalhealth viruses like Ebola andZika. He's turned into an unlikely celebrity whose gameplan on defeating COVID-19 has become trusted by Curry, Krzyzewski and millions of Americans watching him from home.At a White House pre s briefing on April 1, a reporter .“He doesn't need security. Everybodyloves him,” President Donald Trump said.“You know he was a great basketball player. Did anybody know that? He was a little on theshort side for the NBA but he was talented. Iread this story, he won a game that was unwinnable against a great team and his whole team said, ‘We can't beat this team’ and he went in and they won the game.“The coronavirus pandemic has no winners, but Fauci believes there can still be a lot fewer losers.” https://www.storebaravens.com/Tavon_Young_Jersey.NFL We're not even at halftime,” Fauci told Coach K. “What would be really nice, to continue the analogy, is that if we can just hold our own and then when we get back in the second half, just come out, like, blazing. And that's what we really need to do; otherwise, this stuff is going to be really, really very harmful to us as a society.”
