Pain in January!!! - Jan.29, 2012 (by Akeem)

Gukentaj Eurobasket, Happy New Year to Eurobasket.com, players, coaches, staff and fans.

Gukentaj Eurobasket,
Happy New Year to Eurobasket.com, players, coaches, staff and fans. Before I start, I want to thank God and Jesus for this opportunity to play the sport I love and be able to share it with you, the reader. This month overall has been good. My team, Monar Bar went 5-1 in some really close games. The hardest part for me has been the physical toll on my body. I took a real good beating this month going to the basket. This caused me to lose some sleep. The tossing and turning from the pain had me up late at night. With my style of fast and physical play I know I will have months like this. Athletes should endure pain anytime they look to be the best. If you dont, you're not working hard enough. Some games, blood should be leaking from somewhere. For me, the last two games I had blood leaking from both sides of my legs, from diving and getting bumped in the air and onto the floor. Thats the part of the game I love. Its no longer about basketball, its about whose tougher!!! On the court, I think Im the toughest man there is. The great NFL coach Vince Lombardi once said,Hurt is in the mind. I believe a true warrior blocks out pain and enjoys the suffering. Today I ask you about your job. Are you working the hardest? Are you fighting to be the best? Are you sacrificing your body, sleep and time to prove you are better than your competition? Heres the thing, you wont win all the battles. If you answered yes to the questions I asked, you will win most. In January, Monar Bar played well, going 5-1. We fought, sacrificed and stuck together in battle. We won most.
You know who else won: THE NEW YORK GIANTS!!! Beating Atlanta, Greenbay and San Francisco. We were the underdogs in all 3 games. We are in the Super Bowl and everybody is saying we will lose this game as well. Im just proud to be a NEW YORK GIANT. We Bleed Blue.

Here are 3 cool facts about me:
1. Im the youngest of my mothers kids. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother.

2. I collect cool looking rocks from different countries.
3. Im writing a book about the lessons of love.

Peace,
Keem
