It could also be a determining factor in ...

[Robbins] Justin Champagnie, Washington’s rebounding wizard, is proving himself

Desire, smarts and toughness matter, too, and Champagnie possesses all of those characteristics in abundance. Champagnie proved his mettle yet again late in Saturday night’s third quarter against the Chicago Bulls. ...
