What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player

Student Success Statement

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

John Wooden

What John wooden is trying to say is that it really doesn't matter how good you are on the court but how well of a person you are off the court. I also think he means that people would like you more of how you are off the court more than on the court.
