I want my son to never know the mommy who would rather watch him play basketball than play with him.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's a parent's dream come true to watch your sons play at the highest level of college basketball.
When I watch kids play basketball, they don't know how to think the game. They know what it should look like, but they don't know why.
Fatherhood will put a man through a lot, but it's a tremendous job, the best in the world - even better than playing basketball.
Every NBA player, every athlete, I think once you get to this level in life, whether you have kids or you're about to have kids, understands that this is so much bigger than this sport.
Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.
Basketball has consumed me since the age of 7 or 8. I don't know what I would do without it.
Then to have your baby playing at the school you played at and having him play well is a special treat.
It is not the time spent with the child at their activity that is going to produce the highest level athlete. It is in supporting the child in an organized activity - and Bill alluded to this - so the child can find what they truly like to do and let them go.
Throughout my journey in basketball, I always have someone to talk to in my father. I know how hard he had to work as an athlete.
My son has taken liking for sports and is most of the time playing cricket and football. It is so much fun being with them, as I'm enjoying every phase of motherhood.
