True Hall of Famer

This past week, David Robinson, Michael Jordan and others were inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame. This is the biggest honor for Basketball players and coaches. As always, each of the individuals were able to give a speach, thanking the appropriate people and saying whatever it might be that they would want to say.

David Robinson was one of my favorite basketball players growing up. I loved the fact that he was good, and a Christian. One of the things that continues to stand out is that he is a man of class. I hope that when I am older, I can carry myself in a simular fashion. Please take the 8 minutes to watch David Robinson give his speach. It is worth it. Especially listen to the end.

Jordan also was inducted and gave a speach. Jordan is probably the best basketball player to ever live. He played at a higher level than anyone for a super long time. As a basketball player, he has earned the respect of many, including myself. I am not here to say that his speach was bad or selfish... you can make your own decision. I do think that it is interesting though that David and Jordan gave their speaches on the same night, and they couldn't have been more different. Watch and see what you think. **Be Warned... he does swear once at the begining of the speach** if you don't have time to watch the whole thing, at least watch the last minute or so of his speach.

Thoughts?

My thought is this: David Robinson has class! What a great role model... still today!
