Siya Kolisi, captain of the Springboks (South African Worldcup winning team in Rugby), was interviewed briefly after a historic win over England. When asked about the game, he quickly said, “this was for the people of South Africa. We have our problems and differences back home, but if we can come together to achieve a goal, great things can happen.” He went on to thank the British side and the amazing people who were in attendance, rooting them on to achieve World Cup glory.
Never, in American sports history, has a player ever said “this is for America,” unless there’s an unspeakable tragedy. This is what the world needs — an amazing leader that can influence the masses and future generations out there.
On the other hand, Shaq, an ex-NBA player, is financially driven and smart (just like Robert Kiyosaki’s book), but what does that get him? Ok, fill up your own pockets, but never have I heard him donate for a grandeur cost. Charles Barkley, on the other hand, donated 45k to an NBA player to build a well (housing water) in Tanzania.
What I’m trying to say here is …..all bs cars, jewelry and houses aside…the world is bigger than you. People are in need of a leader and guidance. You can have all the money you want, but what is the real legacy you want to be known for? Michael Jordan is indirectly responsible for thousands of African American fatalities in America because he releases only a small portion of his limited edition shoes. He says it’s not his fault….but if he hadn’t made those shoes to begin with, children would still be alive today. Yes, it’s not the on-court legacy, it’s the off-court. Michael Jordan, as well as so many others like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, will leave a tainted image of themselves. Don’t be that person.
