It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nice guys finish first. If you don't know that, then you don't know where the finish line is.
I start where the last man left off.
It's not quite as important who you beat as that you end up on top.
For me, being a starter doesn't matter. Of course, I'd like to be in at the end of the game, to be a big part of the team, and to play as many minutes as I can play. But starting and coming off the bench are two different challenges.
When the game is over it is really just beginning.
It starts with me. I have to get the team in the right play and throw the ball where it's supposed to go.
Nobody remembers who finished second but the guy who finished second.
To be a great game, one of the teams has to score first.
Winning starts with beginning.
To finish first you must first finish.
