Certain guys look like they were born to play the sport they play. I don't mean they simply have the perfect instinct to play the game, though that's certainly part of it, or they have the ideal body type to succeed. I mean that when you look at them, their natural grace, the way the fit into the game like it's the most natural thing in the world, you find yourself grateful -- for them -- that the game was invented.
