Life In Perspective
Today I received bad news that a teammate of mine from this season in Cyprus died. I can not tell you how shocked and upset I am about this. In basketball your team becomes like family, you see each other every day sometimes 2 to 3 times a day so you become attached to your teammates. As teammates you are always moving towards a common goal. My teammate who died Marios Palalas sat next to me in the locker so we talked every day about any and everything. Marios was 18 years old with his whole life ahead of him and his life was cut short by a blood infection. As a basketball player you always focus so much time on playing and getting ready for next season and saying to former teammates I will see you next year and I will email you and see you on facebook. I will now really live in the moment of enjoying teammates more during the season. I will pray for Marios’ family to get through this tough time…
