Review of Gary Smith piece.

This one was much better than the last, no crazy ranting review here! I must say I actually kinda liked the bitter-sweetness of this essay, with Takes Enemy's basketball fame to hitting rock bottom to rising up again was certainly more uplifting than the piece about cannibalism. I also enjoyed how the author makes a contrast between the past and the modern age of the Crow tribe, as well as his explanations of the expectations that are present for those in that community. I do think though, that while basketball is certainly a central theme here, I think that Smith relied a little too much on this one aspect to tell a story that was much bigger.
