Do you ever stretch out on the Earth, gaze at the pinpricked majesty of the Lite-Brite night sky, and take a moment to consider your place in the universe? Ponder the scope of existence. Observe the celestial bodies that pierce the outer reaches of the void and flicker a message of awareness in our direction.
The Earth is a satellite of observation. A clump of something, floating and whirling through the stretching expanses of the infinite.

From our point of view, our Sun, the source of Earth’s warmth and life, appears much larger than the specks of light that break out across the night sky’s pubescent, acne-riddled firmament. We understand, of course, that the Sun is not larger than the average star for the same reasons we understand that the Moon is not as large as the Sun: it’s all a matter of perspective.
So, though the Sun appears grander and more brilliant than the rest of the visible universe’s inhabitants, its proximity to us Earthlings makes it appear as though it’s the most magnificent body in the sky (save for that hunk of a constellation, Orion, winner of the night sky pageant 32,000 years running!).
But truthfully, the Sun isn’t anything special in the grand scope of the universe. Sure, brown and red dwarf stars make up the majority of the star population, but our resident star is microscopic compared to cosmic giants, which are hundreds to thousands of times larger — they’re not in the same weight class.
Last season in Utah, third-year point guard Keyonte George was a star.
Is Keyonte George truly a cosmic giant, or did he only look that way because he shared the floor with dwarfs?
He averaged 23.6 points per game, which ranked 22nd in the NBA. He neighbored established superstar scorers like James Harden (23.6 PPG), Cade Cunningham (23.9 PPG), Cooper Flagg (21.0 PPG), and LeBron James (20.9 PPG). And he did it on decadent shooting splits of 45.6% FG, 37.1% 3PT, and 89.2% FT. And he added 6.1 assists per game for good measure. Everything in this paragraph was a career-high for Keyonte, and by a wide margin.
