[Music] Hope

This hit ''Hope'' performed by Twista featuring Faith Evans is from Coach Carter, one of the best basketball movies ever. The movie is based on a true story. It also has lots of great quotes in this movie and I think they are somewhat aphorisms.

One of the best is that Coach Ken Carter loves to ask, ''What's your deepest fear?'' One of his player, Timo Cruz answers, ''Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.''

Another one I like is that Jason Lyle says to the coach and the team, ''You said we're a team. One person struggles, we all struggle. One person triumphs, we all triumph.''


Therefore, Adidas is right about this. Basketball is a brotherhood, man. I love it with all my heart.
