Having others want to emulate you can be a good thing. It means they admire you or what you do, and want to be like you.

So who'da thunk Denver, of all places, would want to be just like Cleveland? Except in this case, well, you'll see:
Simmons said a local basketball coach who asked not be named gave $100 for the program. More community support is needed, he said, pointing to a Nov. 22 gun buyback program in Cleveland that collected more than 300 guns.

Gun owners were offered incentives in exchange for their firearms, including free tickets to a Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game and gas and grocery cards. Simmons urged Denver's professional sports teams to step up and offer similar incentives.

"If Cleveland can come up with 324 guns, Denver ought to be able to match that," Simmons said.

Trust me, Coloradans. In this case, you don't want to follow our lead.
