This tremendous statement by John Wooden is really meaningful. What this statement means is that what you are as a person is more significant than a ball player. First comes the way you are , your personality, your sportsmanship. Then it's basketball. In order to become a great player in general ( in this terms basketball) you have to have great sportsmanship and a great character in you. For instance, if you have a great charisma and temperament, you will be a great person as who you are. If that person chooses the right first, then you will be a great player inside of you when you step on the court and off the court. Now, if you don't have a great personality and horrible charisma, in the court, you won't be a true basketball player. You might be selfish with the ball and that isn't having a great personality.
