Humble

As George stressed in the previous blog entry (please read very insightful), G-Hamp apparel "humbleness + helpfulness + dedication = success." And such this very true, without these key elements than a person or a team is looking at failure. In this case it would be a team.
This pass week I've found myself disgusted with the behavior that of Terrell Owens (T.O.). He is far from possessing any characteristic of sportsmanship. His long line of baggage is well documented in an article by Bob Glauber, and it shows that its really nothing new with T.O when he's losing or at worst not getting the ball.

Don't get me wrong he's a great athlete and a very likely candidate for the NFL Hall Of Fame, but the legacy he'll leave behind is very shameful. A role model to the position he plays, but his demeanor is ugly. The man is so talented and I wish he would understand you can't the ball 20 times every game when a team designs a defense just to stop YOU!

I grew up like a lot of people in my age range watching Michael Jordan and the Bulls, and one thing that he did was share the wealth. Jordan may have gotten most of the endorsement off court, but on the court Jordan was distributing to all teammates that were open. He made house hold names out of Scotty Pippen, Phil Jackson, B.J Armstrong, Steve Kerr, John Paxson, and many more. Jordan possessed true sportsmanship, he made the team great by making the supporting cast around him better.

T.O needs to take a page out of Jordans book and learn that he can make his team power house, if you have 3 men defending just you than you know that its likely that your quarterback (who he cried about once) has someone else available to throw it. After a while the ball will come to you. I know losing isn't easy but to point fingers and arguing with your teammates is shameful. I can no longer follow T.O the player anymore, because he taking away from what happening on the field where it counts with his acts of foolish.

G-Hamp apparel stands for- Gentlemen's Humble Actions Manifest Progression and to continue on the sports theme if I wore to give a sportsmanship award it would have to be to Stephen Curry of Davidson. He is the NCCA men leading scorer, he went scoreless in one game because a team decided to set their defense against him. Davidson still won by
30 points by his distribution to his other teammates proving that he can make his team and its not just about him.

Going back to what George said "humbleness + helpfulness + dedication = success."
