... 10 years ago they told me & my parents "he's got so much talent & is something special ... if he continues,he'll become a Basketball Star ..." after that I injured my knee ...through that my back go ruined ...2 years no sport ...years Pain and working my ass of just to be something ....now I'm almost 22...my basketball career is over...I know I could have make it to become a Star & I know nobody now would believe that ...but I know one thing: I NEVER EVER GAVE UP!!! and I'm still going ....
I'm on crutches right now because of an ankle injury I obtained during a Basketball game. In a month or two, when I'm fit, I will try my hardest to be better than I was before. That is all thanks to this video. This video really motivates me to be the best I can.
PPl dont just apply this to working out... apply this philosphy to all aspects of life... nobody tells u how hard they truly work how much pain they endured... u wanna be the best rapper.... start studyin music everyday... practising everyday writing lines everday ever second u can...
that's the best quote ive herd for success -"iF YOU WANNA SUCCEED AS BAD AS YOU WANNA BREATHE; than you'll B SUCCESSFUL!" -i remember Kobe said it one time
this helped me want to lose weight.. with the help of the Insanity workout and this video i lost 40 pounds. I used to weigh 210, now i weigh 170 with only 5% body fat
@twista4life I believe he does put in the time and effort. He runs miles in 100 degree weather, puts in the hours at the gym, practices his game, etc. He even went to magic after he lost and asked if he could help him improve his game during the lockout, and even went to hakeem for help. There's no doubt that he puts in the time and effort, you don't become that good without it. Even through natural talent. His problem is that he lacks the determination and mindset of being the best
I have a tendency to watch this before I go to bed for some reason and of course I have trouble sleeping lol.. I need to start watching it before I go to the gym
You have to use the time you have , saying your going to be successful is different than actually going out and being successful. Don't let your life just pass you by go do something with it.
I nearly cried watching this video, i realize what im missing to be great. i didn't wait it bad enough
this video is very inspirational, im touched badly... im going to approach the remaining of my life like this, go hard, go strong, thanks for this video, this might've change my life
@TheCarlos4398 those 70 people realized there are people who do much braver things than practicing throwing a ball through a net, and demanding millions of dollars for it
this video and my DAD and MY COUSIN HELPED ME WANT TO TRY HARDER EVERYDAY I DONT CARE WAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT HOW I PLAY BUT I TRY TO GET BETTER EVERY TIME IM IN GYM AT SCHOOL I WANT TO GET BETTER AND DO BETTER THAN OTHERS THATS HOW BAD I WANT IT
I know not many people would watch this, but I appreciate that you are reading this and it would really help out my channel. It is clear and easy to understand.
i used to be a huge fan of basketball, but now i am starting to hate it. Basketball is not fare you need to be at least minimum of 6ft to be good at it. Being tall is something u cant control thats why i like football everyone has a fair and equal chance. And dont tell me look at mugsy bouges or nate robinson they are just there to sell more tickets.
@oneloveyalls i really understand wherer your coming from, but you also have to realize that drive and heart can beat out size. I gurantee you if Spud webb wanted to bad enough< he could of boxed out dominique, or blocked dominique. Look at denis Rodman, Id say the dude was the best rebounder ever. he was about mjs height.
@iloveboobies98 yeah dude but he is like 6'6 - 6-8 also he huge arms. 6'6 is extremly tall compared to normal people. Yes i know he was passionate and did amazing. But 6'6 is pretty tall still i am talking about guys who are 5;10
@oneloveyalls "everyone has a fair and equal chance" There is no fair and equal chance in becoming a successful athlete. No one will give it to you, you have to do it yourself. Football has just as many "unfair" things as basketball.
I get up at 5:00 on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday just to go to the Y. The stay there to 7:00 and then I shower. I run a mile, spend 30 minutes doing dribbling exercises, and then lift. Whole I'm doing this my friends are asleep. After school I go back to shoot around for two more hours. Why am I doing this? I was cut from a basketball team and all I want to do is play basketball. I have failed so much and I just want to succeed. This is why I do it.
@Felson07 I have this on my ipod as i workout. I keep it on loop so it never ends. Motivates me to never cry due to pain, pain is temporary, get a reward from it.
Best video so inspiring to practice even harder and longer
