"What you are as a player is far more important than wha you are as a basketball player."

-John Wooden

Being a person is more important than what you are as a basketball player because many people will just know you as a player in a certain team. Being you is like showing your story and background. For example, their could be famous people that are known for it but they could be kind people who probably had a hard life in the past. Being known as famous is only telling people what good songs they make and only seeing them as a famous being.
