A
Spectacular Game -- One of our best. The fans certainly got their
money's worth. We played GREAT. Greenwich played better. Congratulations
to all the Greenwich players and coaches on a great win. They are
the team to beat.
As
a kid, I always thought I was behind and needed that extra hour to
catch up. Jim Jones once told me, "No matter how many shots you
take, somewhere there's a kid out there taking one more. If you dribble
a million times a day, someone is dribbling a million and one."
Whenever I'd get ready to call it a day. I'd think, "No. Somebody
else is still practicing. Somebody -- somewhere -- is playing that
extra ten or fifteen minutes and he's going to beat me someday."
I'd practice some more and then I'd think. "Maybe that guy is
practicing his free throws now." So I'd go to the line and practice
my free throws and that would take another hour. I don't know if I
practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still
wonder if somebody -- somewhere -- was practicing more than me.
