an athlete who got it right
For those who didn't know, David Robinson (center for the San Antonio Spurs) was inducted into the Hall of Fame yesterday. He was (and is) my favorite athlete of all time. In a day where most athletes have little regard for those who are watching them, David reconciled his faith and the wide world of athletics with humility and passion. Listen and watch his Hall of Fame speech, and you will hear a man walking in accordance with the Spirit. It's a breath of fresh air for all of us, whether we are watched by millions of die-hard fans or twenty four energetic fourth graders.

Funny you should mention his speech and his humility. If you listen to Michael Jordan's speech, you'll hear a prideful man who's lost his identity without basketball. Here is an article I read detailing this...(http://tinyurl.com/mqbym5). Quite sad. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeletei read the article ryan pointed out about jordan. it's interesting to me that the greatest basketball player of all time was inducted into the hall of fame, and the day afterwards we are watching robinson's speech and talking about jordan with sadness.
