It's not about where you're from or what you look like. It's not about what other people say or think or do. It's not even about us.

It's about you.

It's about what you do when no one's watching. The time you put in before school or after work. The unbelievable highs and the heartbreaking lows.

So play from the soul. Bring your game and your swag.

And if you ever feel like you don't belong—whether on the court or off it—just remember: the game belongs to you.
