Every jersey tells a story. Behind each one are surgeries, losses, late nights, losing streaks, winning streaks, sneakers, trades, teammates, coaches, friends, and entire cities. When I look back at the jerseys I wore, I think to myself: "What a ride it has been." The truth is, it wasn't easy. There were haters then, and there are haters now. But none of that mattered - because I put in the work. And that's the secret: when you give everything you have, it doesn't matter what someone else says about you. What matters is that you showed up not only for yourself but for your teammates- everyday! This life doesn't come without struggle. The adversity is what creates the brilliance in us. One day you'll look back at your body of work and realize just how much you overcame. That's when the emotions hit. That's when the pride sets in. Because no one can take away the mark you've left.
Yes, there will be plenty to complain about but the doers in life just go forward and refuse to let the hard parts get in their way. Stop complaining. Stop making excuses. Too hot outside? Too cold in the gym? Practice too early? Doesn't matter. Just do it. Show up. Commit. Because if you put in the work — truly commit — one day you'll look back at your life's work with tears in your eyes and pride in your heart. It will bring you more joy and fulfillment than you can imagine. sonics

It's not luck. It's not talent. It's just work

Gene Pingatore: And this is a review from Hoop Dreams. Agee, initially viewed as a promising prospect, faced challenges at St. Joseph, including struggles in the classroom and his family's inability to keep up with tuition payments. Now with a program like Pingatore think about the talent he would miss out on..
Anthony Davis who didn't blossom until his senior because of a growth spurt. Ben Wilson who grew after his sophomore year, Jimmy Butler who also developed late. Unfortunately for those of you who think he belongs on Mount Rushmore I'm sorry because he doesn't.
