Charity Game | Graham Grizz Maddox

The charity game was a mistake before it even started. Graham knew it the moment he laced up, felt the knee wobble once before it settled. It used to mean nothing, but now it meant everything because that knee had ended his career once and wasn't subtle about what it thought of a rematch. 

But the event was for the children's hospital, season ticket holders in the luxury boxes, a whole night of photo ops and handshakes and coach Maddox looking good for fifty-two. He couldn't beg off without sounding fragile and Graham Maddox did not sound fragile. Ever.
