"What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player."

what this quote means is that being a basketball player isn't as important as being yourself. You can play better when you are being yourself. Even if you loose you just have to be yourself and keep trying because eventually you will succeed and everything will be worth it. Winners  never quit and quitters never win. Towards the end of the day you will see that being your self is a good thing. You have to be able to play by the rules and learn how to loose. You have to have good sportsman ship and that is what you are as a person.
