For The Love Of The Game

There is nothing like watching somebody do what they love to do; even if that person is Kevin Durant, ranked by most to be top 5 basketball player in the world playing summer league basketball in a junior high school gym.  I love watching the NBA guys playing in the summer leagues around the country in the off-season.  It shows that the game is still just a game and that even the best in the world can have a little fun while competing and proving why they are considered to be the best in the world.

KD is known for jumping on some of the most competitive street ball courts around the country.  Here, in the first part of a new series titled "For the Love of the Game" where we show the some of the best basketball players in the world doing what they love to do for the love of the game rather than for a paycheck, KD is performing at the famed Drew League in Los Angeles, California.  The Drew League is arguably the best summer league in the world, as the Charles Drew Junior High School gym in the tough neighborhood of Compton California hosts 28 invitation only teams that attracts streetball legends, college athletes and many NBA stars such as Lebron James, Kevin Durant, and James Harden.

We all have our goals and aspirations.  To be the best we can be, we have to use and take advantage of the resources that are available to us.  In the not so distant past, we had to search through books to find information on how to take our talent to the next level.  In today's world, the internet and YouTube provide a priceless resource for how to improve.

Use that resource, whether your striving to be the best teacher, the best business man, or the best basketball player that you can be.  Learn the drills it takes to be successful, learn how to develop the proper mind frame, and measure your dedication and the time and effort you put into your craft with the greats.
