"You can't take it for granted, and sometimes when you are talented you take it for granted, you take days off in practice," May said of his career so far. "What I've learned now is that this being my job, it's not a game now -- it's my liveliehood. you have to come to work everyday, you have to put in the work every day. "
Thanks Captain Obvious!
"My whole thing, as far as the weight issue goes, is that I didn't have a lot of opportunity this summer," May said. "Not many people know the whole situation with my rehab and my coming back from this injury. This is one of the most catastrophic injuries you can have as a basketball player; it's ended a lot of careers. The one thing I've always told myself, and all my rehab guys have told me is "come back heavier and be healthy, rather than come back lighter and be unhealthy". I came back a little heavier than what they wanted and what I wanted myself, but I was able to practice and I was able to play, and I am able to work the weight down. Now It's getting back to that 260-point where I was when I left school. I'm not far -- I'm 8 or 9 pounds away. I'll continue to work and get there. Coach has seen my work ethic, I don't think that has ever been a question for him. He's seen the way I come to practice and come to work."
Worst justification ever.
"Sean May is going to reach 260, get back on this court and help the Bobcats win games," May said.
Slam says he gets a little freaked out when people speak of themself in the 3rd.
