If You Pass The Ball

I Can Accept Failure, Everyone Fails At Something. But I Can't Accept Not Trying.

The Game Of Basketball Has Been Everything To Me. My Place Of Refuge, Place I've Always Gone Where I Needed Comfort And Peace. It's Been The Site Of Intense Pain And The Most Intense Feelings Of Joy And Satisfaction. It's A Relationship That Has Evolved Over Time, Given Me The Greatest Respect And Love For The Game.

When I Step Onto The Court, I Don't Have To Think About Anything. If I Have A Problem Off The Court, I Find That After I Play, My Mind Is Clearer And I Can Come Up With A Better Solution. It's Like Therapy. It Relaxes Me And Allows Me To Solve Problems.

When I Was Young, I Had To Learn The Fundamentals Of Basketball. You Can Have All The Physical Ability In The World, But You Still Have To Know The Fundamentals.

I've Failed Over And Over And Over Again In My Life And That Is Why I Succeed.
