"The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary."
-Vince Lombardi
So there I was in D.C., just one week before the Summer Games start. I was going to be a gym rat for these next six days, concentrating on whatever it takes to make this squad. The Wizards only drafted SG Jermaine Taylor in the past draft and he was traded to the Rockets so I know I'm gonna provide a young, new face in this organization.
I signed a little contract with the Wizards that would pay me about a grand for these next few weeks. Money in the bank...
To show people I was really focused and driven to succeed in this sport, I used the money to get a pair of Jordan Old School Classics and tatted myself up - two full sleeves to show that there is no looking back now. The chances of me being successful in a corporate world with tattoos is very slim. Basketball is my life now.
Mo said he'll be eyeing me closely this summer. I can't wait for the Circuit... So until then, you can catch me in the gym. I'll be a Gym Rat 'till then.
