Paul George Is A Role Model

Bryant’s accomplishments, competitiveness, and work ethic is very inspiring to the fans of sport. Playing for one of the biggest franchise team for 20 years and winning five championship is something no other player has done except Kobe Bryant. Bryant has also maintained his high level performance in the most competitive league by spending time on his craft for many hours and extending his time on recovery by icing and playing less minutes during each game. One of the most inspiring moment in Bryant’s career is him coming back from torn achilles during the game against the Golden State Warriors in 2013. Bryant tore the tendon as he fell from getting a shooting foul, he stayed on the court and made his two free throws which led to a remarkable win. His eager to win a game is ambitious than any players. At the age of 34, it is very difficult for top athletes to come back from serious injury but Bryant never gave up so he embraced his injury to put himself through a very intense rehabilitation to bounce back from his step back. In the article “Kobe Bryant: I inspire myself by inspiring others” Kobe Bryant stated “ when people say you can’t come back from that…. I’ve had those doubts about myself but i’m not gonna cower to those doubts. I’m not going to be scared” This quote demonstrates how inspiring Kobe is because his willingness to fight back his serious injuries and embracing the fear that is created by others and

“Ask me to play. I’ll play. Ask me to shoot. I’ll shoot. Ask me to pass. I’ll pass. Ask me to steal, block out, sacrifice, lead, dominate. Anything. But it’s not what you ask of me. It’s what I ask of myself.” It’s quite amazing that these powerful words came from the mouth of LeBron James. Without a doubt, LeBron James is best known as being a great basketball player. However, what many people do not know about LeBron James is that the principles that he lives by are what make him a great basketball player and teammate. I chose to write about this very talented man, because he has many good principles that he lives by that are similar to principles that I strive to live by. LeBron James is an admirable person because he is a hardworking, loyal, and determined man who is a great role model for others.

One of the reasons that I consider Mr. Jason to be a role model is because he was committed. He would give up his time to coach my softball team. He would try to show up to our games and practices. In addition, he would help us out through the game. He wouldn't just sit there and watch us, he would help us and give us helpful pointers on how to hit better. Mr. Jason was very committed to all sports he showed up to all games, when he could. He was always able to give us pointers and help us out through the game. For instance, one time at practice, I was up at bat. I was struggling to hit the ball. Then, he told me to choke up on the bat and to just focus on the ball. When I listened to his instruction, I hit the ball. The ball went all the way into the outfield.

In my life I’m inspired by Marcus Paige. Marcus Paige is a current basketball player for the North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team. In high school, Marcus was named Mr. Basketball in Iowa, had the high school's highest point scoring average in history and was deemed one of the best point guards in his conference. Now he is the leading scorer for North Carolina and made it to the Finals in the March Madness tournament. Although, Marcus has had many accomplishments in life he has also had many failures. How he responded and reacted towards these failures. Is what makes him my idol. One day I was watching a 30 for 30 on Marcus Paige. A 30 for 30 is a show where ESPN examines and shows viewers the many great people in this world. Marcus

“Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father, a good teammate, a good role model? There’s that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?” LeBron James

“No matter how hard life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you have to bounce back.” and “ If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will.” were both very great quotes from Sheryl Swoopes. These quote are something I do think about in basketball practice. I think of it when I feel like I’m about to give up. Swoopes was nicknamed the “Female Michael Jordan” for great

Many people have a person that they look up to and who encourages them. It's someone who I think doesn't give up and gets back up when they fall down, who has an impact to other people around them and they work for what they have earned. A person that is a role model to me is a man named Kobe Bryant. He is a basketball player that accomplished many things in his career. He was also born on August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Biography Today 44). He is someone who overtime has shown persistence and courage throughout his career in basketball. Kobe Bryant was a role model and inspiring basketball player that had a great legacy in the NBA.

There are many tremendous role models in the world. The one that would be a perfect nominee is Chris Paul.

You have to start by wanting to be a contender, the man coming up, the man who knows there’s a good chance he’ll never get to the top, the man who’s willing to sweat and bleed to get up as high as his legs and his brains and his heart will take him.”- PG.

NBA legend Charles Barkley once daringly proclaimed, “I am not a role model.” In making such an announcement, he recognized what most people already know: nobody’s perfect. In fact, most people exhibit both strengths and weaknesses of character when faced with a variety of circumstances. Sometimes in life we find ourselves in situations that highlight our strengths. For example, in a popular children’s cartoon, Bugs Bunny shows his prudent side when he observes the terrible weather outside.
