Roberson’s potential return:
Royce Young phrased the question regarding Andre Roberson perfectly asking Presti what his emotions and expectations were as Dre nears a return. The ’emotion’ part of the question is apropos as anyone in Thunder Nation can relate to.
After so many failed returns, injury setbacks, and the mental toll Roberson has endured. If he plays in tomorrow’s scrimmage – I’m pretty sure there will be many who shed a few tears of joy for the journey culminating in a positive outcome.
Watching Presti’s face during his response it was evident this is emotional for everyone.
“To me with Dre, like he’s about everything is right in sports and in teams. And the way you know that is when things aren’t going right for you, you can still be like totally invested in the team. And I think that’s a real form of mental toughness, is that you can still be committed to the team and what’s best for the team even when your situation is either bring affected or it’s not going the way you want it to go .” (personally I’d add grace and unselfish to that description)
