Some of my high school teachers did remind me that I had an excellent imagination when it came to making up excuses. ↗

I've tried to handle winning well, so that maybe we'll win again, but I've also tried to handle failure well. If those serve as good examples for teachers and kids, then I hope that would be a contribution I have made to sport. Not just basketball, but to sport. ↗
