September 20, 2021 16:40 - 10 minutes - 9.45 MBWhen I look back at the year 2012 there are a few things that immediately come to mind – Christopher Nolan’s completion of his Batman trilogy with “The Dark Knight Rises”, anxiety over the Mayan prophecy that in December of that year, the entire world was apparently going to come to an end, and my total and complete inability to escape the smash hit song, “Thrift Shop” by Ryan Lewis and Macklemore.

Now, to be fair to him, the reasons for this might largely have to do with the context that surrounded his career and not necessarily his own skills and abilities – but when you’re drafted number one overall, there is just so much expectation that goes along with it that it can be impossible to live up to all the hype. And that’s more...
