I talked about faith, passion. Obviously the drive of the guys that I've been around and
the guys that surround me and every day. Uh but part of that is having the will to succeed. um knowing
you put the work in, and have the confidence to let it show. um what I tell people is just be the best.
version of yourself in anything that you do
You don't have to live anybody else's story. um sometimes people make it seem like you have to have.
certain pre reference's or a crazy life story in order to be successful in this world. um but the truth is
you really don't. It doesn't matter where you come from. What you have or don't have.
What you lack. What you have to much of, but all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for
what you do, or what you chose to do in this life. And a relentless drive and the will to do what ever it takes
to be successful in what ever you put your mind to. Make sure you live in the moment
and work you butt off every single day. And I hope I inspire people all around the world to just be themselves.
Be humble and be grateful for all the blessings in your life. And I'm truly honored to be your MVP this year.
So thank you very much.
Um I was always the smallest kid on my team
Everything happens for a reason. And theres a story to everything. And if you take time to realize in what your dream is
and what you really want in life, no matter what it is. Wether its sports wether its in other fields um you have
to realize that there always work to do and you want to be the hardest working person in whatever you do
and you put yourself in position to be successful. Um and you have to have a passion about what you do.
And basketball was mine, and thats whats carried me to this point.
