Basketball is, and has always been, my foremost love and priority. But my perspective is that I have this short window of time in which I can try new things and continue to grow on and off the court. Throughout the offseason and the lockout I had some idle time, and I used every opportunity to enjoy life and learn. I’ve joked about it on Twitter before, but I am hoping to pick up Rosetta Stone and learn Spanish. There’s never a lack of ambition coming from this end, so the silver lining to this locked-out summer was the gift of time to accomplish some of the things I have always wanted to do. I don’t ever want to look back and have any regrets, so I’m taking advantage of every opportunity that I have to grow as a person, as well as a basketball player. It’s all about completion.
While it has been quite a summer of opportunity and new endeavors, I will have plenty to write about no matter what course the NBA lockout takes. But here’s hoping that we can get back to business as usual.
