In life much as in sport you have to choose a path.
In basketball if you sit around the 3-point line you are largely left being a observer to what happens in the game.
Real winners participate. They get involved. They make things happen. They chase down looseballs, contest shots, hustle back on defense, box out their man.
All these things that will go unnoticed in the boxscore ultimately decide who wins the game.
Are you in the game?
