Jeff Hornacek rarely uses foul language on the court; as the father of three kids, he's always wanted to be an excellent role model.
For the first time, he cursed an opponent to his face, calling him an idiot.
But Hornacek didn't feel guilty at all; on the contrary, he felt an unprecedented thrill.
He had been bound by words like moral, responsibility, and role model for too long, and had never done anything outrageous in his life.
But today, everything that happened changed Jeff Hornacek's orderly life.
He realized that being a bit bad occasionally wasn't such a big deal.
In fact, in the half-year since joining the Hawks, Hornacek experienced more transformative events than he had in the past decade.
He had never met such a charismatic leader.
Never seen a coach who encouraged his players to get into fights with opponents.
Never been part of such a cohesive team.
Never realized that winning could be so easy.
