Zero. That’s the number of points I scored the entire summer while playing in Philadelphia’s Sonny Hill Future League when I was 12 years old. I didn’t score. Not a free throw, not an accidental layup, not even a lucky throw-the-ball-up-oops-it-went-in-basket.
My father Joe “Jellybean” Bryant and my uncle John “Chubby” Cox were Future League legends in their day. My father as a 6’10” point forward and my uncle as a 6’4” point guard.
I was putting my family to shame!
I considered maybe just giving up basketball and just focusing on soccer. Here’s where my respect
and admiration for Michael Jordan was forged (形成). I learned that he had been cut from his high
school team as a freshman; I learned he knew what it felt like to be embarrassed, to feel like a failure. But he used those emotions to fuel him, make him stronger, he didn’t quit. So I decided to take on my challenge the same way he did. I would channel my failure as fuel to keep my competitive fire burning. I became obsessed with proving to my family — and more importantly to myself — that I CAN DO THIS.
It became an obsession. I learned everything about the game, the history, the players, the fundamentals. I wasn’t just determined to never have a summer of zero again, I was driven to inflict (使 遭受) the same sense of failure on my competition as they unknowingly inflicted on me. My killer
instinct to score was born.
Twenty-four years later, I pass my muse. What a journey this has been. Setting this mark is a huge honor. Thank you all for your love and support, it is much appreciated, even if the villain (恶棍) in me
refuses to acknowledge it all the time.
零这是我12岁时在费城桑尼山未来联盟打球时整个夏天的得分。我没有得分。不是一次罚球,不是一次意外的上篮,甚至不是一次幸运的上篮。
我的父亲乔“果冻豆”科比和我的叔叔约翰“查比”考克斯是未来联盟的传奇人物。我父亲是一名身高6英尺10英寸的控球前锋,我叔叔是一名6英尺4英寸的控卫。
我让我的家人蒙羞!
我考虑过放弃篮球,专注于足球。这是我尊敬的地方
对迈克尔·乔丹的钦佩之情油然而生(形成). 我得知他是从高位被砍下来的
大一时的校队;我了解到他知道尴尬、失败的感觉。但他用这些情绪来激励他,让他变得更强大,他没有放弃。所以我决定像他一样接受挑战。我会把我的失败当作燃料,让我的竞争之火继续燃烧。我开始痴迷于向家人——更重要的是向自己——证明我能做到这一点。
它变成了一种痴迷。我学到了关于比赛的一切,历史,球员,基本原理。我不仅决心不再有一个零度的夏天,我还被迫施加(使 遭受) 就像他们在不知情的情况下强加给我的一样,我在比赛中的失败感。我的杀手
天生就有得分的本能。
二十四年后,我与缪斯女神擦肩而过。这是一段多么美好的旅程啊。创下这一纪录是一项巨大的荣誉。感谢大家的爱和支持,非常感谢,即使是反派(恶棍) 在我身上
一直拒绝承认。
