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

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

   What this quote is trying to say is that no matter what sport you are in, all that matters is you being yourself. Nothing should change the way you act towards other people. Be yourself during and after the game. Don't act mean and tough during a basketball game then after start acting nice. If you be 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.
