As a youngster, I aspired to play in the NBA.

The preparedness was one of his key things.

Unfortunately, I lacked athletic ability.

My career lasted 15 minutes in college tryouts when a guy with cutoff shorts lasted longer than I did.

Reinforced that I wasn't gonna be an NBA player.

In my senior year of high school, I was point guard on my team and sectional finals guarded an individual named Bill Hanslick, who was averaging 25 points a game and went on to play for Notre Dame, which I think where you went, and then the Denver Nuggets.

And I like to joke that I was trying so hard because I was always working hard and pretty savvy on the court.

I defended Bill Hanslick and I held him to 10 points over his season average.

So he scored 35 on me.

That's what greatness looks like.

That's not, could be my path.

But John was a ethics and preparation and hard work.
