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

                                      My response for this quote I think this means of what it says but from
           anything better what you are what you want to be. It is important to stay as yourself and not
            become what people force you to be or you trying go ahead of what you already are.
              If you want become something great it takes time and practice. You cant rush on everything
            you might not like it ones your their. If you getting told to do something they want you do it
             if you dont like it just bailed. Example if you become an basket ball player you very good at
            it but you dont enjoy it just leave become what you want to be. If your at place you dont like
             it daily place to be if you think it important and you use to then you may continue.Every one
               have a choice to become something right or wrong you chose.
