Made it in the hall of fame for not only playing basketball...but then a second time for coaching it.
He has the most amazing quotes ever, and the most knowledge.
Recently though, this powerful man died at the big age of 99 living from 1910-2010.
Even at the age 97 his brain was smarter and faster working than mine. Remembering poems and speeches that would take most people (including myself) a long time to memorize.
He was married to the first women he ever kissed and the only women he ever kissed and dated. Loving her with so much love one can't stand. And even as she passed away, he talks to her every day, and at the 21st of every month, writes a letter to her that no one but him and her can see. for 30 years he was doing that.
Winning 10 championships in 12 years, and winning over 620 games, 85 straight in a row. Coaching for UCLA, but used to live and play in the mid west
A great man, with a great personality, a great player, fantastic coach, husband, father, and so on.
This man...is.........John Robert Wooden
