Our guards make 18 out of 20.
That's the NBA standard.
I was making like 15 or 16 out of 20.
So again, I'm good, but they're great.
I fit in, but that's the problem.
NBA players don't fit in.
They stand out.
They're outstanding.
They are absolutely remarkable.
So at one point I'm looking down at the court.
I got my head down.
I'm feeling shame.
I'm feeling embarrassed.
Like, man, like you're not good enough.
And I look down and I see this logo and it's the Phoenix Suns logo.
And I asked myself, Ryan, how'd you get here?
Because there's a lot of places you could be.
And I realized chasing failure took me further than chasing success ever did.
Because it got me way out of my comfort zone and landed me in an NBA practice court.
I'd done a lot of things in my life up until that point.
