Random: A High school assistant seen me yesterday telln old neptune hs bball stories n he said "I remember the day after yall lost to st anthonys in toc, i went in locker room for baseball n i seen u at the locker n i said what r u doing and u said "going To WORK" (working out)! I thought u were crazy after season over n next day u were working out"...Man i remember my dad sayn "while u sleeping, hanging out, bs-ing, theres kids somewhere out there working out trying to be better!" stuck with me from that day forward! my motivation to throw music on in my garage n jump rope for hour, or go to middleschool courts at 7am in summer n do drills for 2hrs in 95degrees n b ONLY one there! or pops takn me to belmar courts 8am making me shoot jumpers while he held a broom up 7ft high i had to shoot over! or after running our brains out in practice, id stay after n run around gym for 20-30mins while girls practiced. or went and lifted in weight room b4 practices. Its humbling to hear some of peoples stories bout my work ethic in hs! i forgot about alot of it but its humbling and i appreciate it! If u want something bad enuff youll try to do what OTHERS arent willing to do! the best go the xtra mile! its mental. prepare yourself mentally and u can do anything physically! alota athletes have physical talent but mentally is what seperates greatness! I credit my pops for everything/everywhere basketball has taken me! around the world/country and many countless experiences! rip pops love u a miss u mannnnn! sigh. but thinking bout it motivates me to help my kids in anything their serious about and want to become GREAT not just good but GREAT in!
