The uniqueness and sometimes troubling aspect of being a basketball player is that as the mind develops and gets smarter for the game, the body does the reverse and loses what it could once do little by little. If you are a young player soak in knowledge and study the game far beyond watching NBA, listen to the vets who have been there and done it. Many you would not even recognize as young ballers. They were like you some years back. If at your peak, 22-28 or so, take it all in and make your mark. Each game or time on the court is a chance to be a great memory. Aging player? Its tough for the ego, but respect the younger players who are now having their time. Give advice to those who listen, and help them grow as people and players. Your role is much bigger than what your skill now displays. Enjoy the moment wherever you are at as a player. This game asks for respect in the way you play it and also how you present yourself as a player. Cherish each opportunity you still have to play the game you love, no matter where you are at. Some people arent as lucky and wish they could but cant due to injury, age, or time.....never take it for granted!
