"What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as basketball player"

 What this quote means is that no matter what sport you are in all that matters is you being yourself. Meaning nothing should change the way you act towards other people. Be yourself during and after the game.Also, don't act rude and tough during a basketball game then after start acting nice because this shows your value in you. If you are the person that you truly are inside, nothing will go wrong. Don't change your image when it comes to doing something you love and are passionate about. Be a part of the team and work together. The way you are reflects your image and how people will see you and treat you. Don't change around anyone or anything your doing just be yourself.
