Nick Wright:"Kobe was never the best player in the world"
Reality:Even Lebron said Kobe was the best player in the League
Lebron:"I think hes the best player in our league right now, what hes able to do offensively and defensively, its unbelieveable and i look up to a guy like Kobe Bryant just because of what hes able to do every night he goes out on the basketball court"
Nick Wright is a ๐คก
Even his own boss said twice that Kobe was the best player in the League
@ClutchPoints Shut @colincowherd ... look at how many all stars the lakers let go off to win a fake championship... Lakers need to rebuild... they'll get swept again this year
@TheVolumeSports@jovanbuha@_JasonLT Nope... F that... @KingJames should retire or play for someone else... all the players that got traded because of him are no allstars... cut bait... he's a bum now
@FirstTake@stephenasmith And don't talk about doesn't deserve a team mate like that.... u never afforded that opportunity with Kobe... say the truth... @KingJames can't carry this team
@FirstTake@stephenasmith Hey @stephenasmith why can't you discuss why LeBron can't carry the lakers? Or why can't AD carry the Lakers?? When Kobe n Shaq were around... u were loud as F# about how Kobe n Shaq could win.... be fair... say it how it is... AD & LeBron can't
@richardbranson@VirginUnite@TheENDFund@Sightsavers Stop dealing with this topic.... actually take minute to see how ur airline service is actual garbage and your airline needs help!! Alot of help.... pick up your game
Last year, my daughter got cut from her 7th grade volleyball team.
She made the first cut, and thought she had a good chance. But on the second and final cut, they called her name, and she put her head down and walked out to the car where her mom and I were waiting.
She opened the car door, sat down, and started bawling. It was so hard to watch. She wanted to be on that team more than anything. I thought she was good enough, but the coach didn't.
My heart went out to her. But we didn't sugarcoat things for her. We told her we understood how much it stings. I've been cut before. Her mom had been cut from sports before, too. It's an ego shot and a gut punch.
We told her to go ask the coach what she could work on for next year. The coach gave her good feedback. And told her she was the "first girl cut". Which sounded promising, but only added to the sting. She said to me, "If only I had been a little bit better and made a few more serves..."
We told her she had a few choices. She could let this be the end. Or she could use this as fuel and fire. And to use it as motivation to work hard to make the team next year.
For a solid year, she practiced 4-5 times per week minimum. She went to every camp, every practice session she could find, found a travel team she could play on, and spent her entire summer at camps, practices, or in our backyard smashing the volleyball against our house (and denting our siding lol).
She had her tryouts this week. In the first tryout, she unleashed her new jump serve and hit 20 straight volleyballs over the net. The coaches were stunned. She said all the coaches came up to her immediately in the first 5 minutes with their clipboards and said, "What's your name?"
They started using her as a demonstrator, saying "Hey, Brooklyn, can you show everyone how to do this?" Even over the returning starters.
I asked her how she did when she got back. "Hey, you've been around a lot of volleyball in the last year. How did you do? Were you in the upper half of the players?"
She's a humble girl. And she proudly said, "I was the best player on the court."
She made the team, obviously. I'm beaming as a father this week.
I told her how proud I was of her. But not just because she made the team, or she's a great player now. But because she didn't give up. She didn't cry about it (after that first day). She didn't ask mom and dad to go lobby for her to be on the team.
She got after it and worked hard for a full year, taking no breaks. Her other volleyball friends were for sure taking it easier. Chilling out and vibing during the summer. She was attending camps and practicing and getting better while they were relaxing.
Sometimes as a parent, you hope you're teaching your kids how to do things.
But this was a case where she taught me how to do things. 100%.
