Hope keeps the world humming in 2002.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Tom Sorensen
CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ Every year has a theme, and the theme for 2002 was hope.
I hope all Super Bowls are as shocking as Super Bowl XXXVI. I hope the Minnesota Twins, which Major League Baseball hoped to contract, can once more stick it to baseball by stretching their season all the way to the AL Championship Series. I hope the Skategate scandal endures because it's, well, amusing.
Hope is what Lorinza Junior Harrington brought to the Charlotte Coliseum parking lot last July on an afternoon hot enough to make a runway model sweat.
Harrington is a friendly 6-foot-4 point guard from Wingate. We sat in the shade of a tree not far from the tent in which he had watched the Universoul Circus. He talked about his dream, which was to play in the NBA. Although he had not been drafted, he signed a free agent contract with the Denver Nuggets.
At least once a month I talk to athletes who believe they can play in the NBA or NFL, drive a race car or fight for a world boxing title.
