Time and again, I will watch some clips on the Net, and I'm constantly touched and inspired by Michael Jordan's and John Stockton's speeches respectively.

'Someday, you might look up and see me playing the game at 50. Oh, don't laugh, 'cause limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.' Michael Jordan

His speech was peppered with much humour as he talked about his life. The greatest basketball player to probably ever play this game delivering such a humbling speech, it truely was something remarkable to hear.

John's one, was short, sweet, but very touching indeed. The sort of humility he spoke with, throughout his speech he was able to thank the many people whom he had worked with or met in his basketball career, and life.

'So I'm here cause I represent the talents, efforts and beliefs of hundreds, maybe thousands of people who've contributed. Top of the list, is Mom and Dad.' John Stockton

When he finally reached this Mom and Dad part, his voice, so husky, started to quiver slightly. I swear I almost teared hearing such. You could sense how he felt at the moment he mentioned his late Mom, you could sense his feelings. God bless the both of you, once my idols, always will be.
