So Few Are So Humble

It was so refreshing to hear the words of John Stockton as he accepted his induction into the basketball hall of fame last week. While other athletes go on and on about how great they are and their own wonderful achievements, this humble yet ultra talented guy gave praise to almost everyone else but himself in his speech. He credited his great coach and his awesome teammates and just about everyone else and said that he was never the best player on any team he had ever played on! Can you imagine this being said by the man who holds some basketball records that may never be matched? He is truly an inspiration to the sport. Jerry Sloan was also a model of humility in his acceptance speech. Oh, that there could be more of their ilk.
