This really does explain where some of these kids get the incredible drive. It always amazes me how these kids can step into an environment with 20,000 people and perform. They are playing for their entire future during these games. It also explaines how some can't miss players fail under the pressure. Imagine what it's like having your entire family, fans and friends depending on you. It's especially exciting to see how they can ever come through when playing for a national championship. Most of us will never understand what drives these kids to be taking thousands of shots at 2:00 AM. Watching them grow and become part if the community is what makes us love them so much. Anyone who follows Quan on Twitter understands how important this game is to them and how long and hard they continue for many years. We have been fortunate we are to have so many dedicated young men. Rick deserves a lot of credit for being able to guide these kids with a respect for themselves and the game. The incredible amount of coaches he has turned out. The importance of education here has given these players a choice in life when their playing opportunities and legs give out.
