A former NBA player cut from the league signed with Turkish club Anadolu Efes and won a EuroLeague championship, becoming one of only two players to win both an NBA and EuroLeague title in consecutive years. He credits consistent effort over time as the foundation of good habits, reflecting on the sacrifices of leaving his family for the opportunity.
I wish getting cut from the NBA was as easy as getting an A on the group project, but it wasn't. After getting cut from the NBA, I had the opportunity to sign with Anadolu Efes. We went on to win a EuroLeague championship, making me one of only two players ever to win an NBA championship and a EuroLeague championship in consecutive years. Do you know who the other player is? And so, do you know which teammate of mine also has an NBA ring and a EuroLeague ring? Leaving my family for EuroLeague basketball games. It's never easy, but hopefully it's teaching my son something about sacrifices. Who am I to think that I don't have to make sacrifices when God sacrificed his only begotten son for us to have the Atonement in our lives? Sacrifices are necessary in this mortal journey to help us return to him one day. It's such a blessing that we can travel privately so we're able to spread out and get comfortable. In life, I found that it's better to be grateful than to complain about circumstances. If you want to build good habits in your life, you need to start with being consistent over time.
