… the scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn’t say is what it is I have found… and over the last 21 years I have found loyalty… you have pulled for me on the court and also in life… I have found inspiration… you have willed me to succeed, sometimes even in my lowest moments… and I have found generosity… you have given me your shoulders to stand on, to reach for my dreams… dreams I could have never reached without you… over the last 21 years I have found you, and I will thank you and the memory of you with me for the rest of my life. Thank you.
