Endure To The End, Or Lessons Learned From a Basketball Game

By
Real Estate Agent with Aubrey and Associates Realty

Tonight I watched part of game 2 of NBA Finals, the Celtics looked to have it well in hand with nearly a 20 point lead with around 7 minutes to play.  I thought that the game was over, and began doing other things.  I was shocked about a half an hour later to read the score that the Lakers had come back and had actually gotten the game down to 2 points before ultimately losing 108 to 102.

I believe that sports can be a microcosm of life.  It is only when we think that it is over that it is over.  I am sure that in reading the internet recap of the game had the Lakers had more time, they may have won the game.  My point isn't to wait until you are too far down to come back, but rather to not give up.  Things may be awful today, yet by Thursday they may be going great.  We also need to prepare for the opposite, things may be great today, but rotten tomorrow.  It's just life!

I really think what I am trying to say is that as long as we keep hustling and adapting, but most of all keep going, eventually we will achieve what it is that we want.  We won't win everytime, but we will win often enough to live a rich an rewarding life!  Have a Great Week!

Tony, it might also have to do with the fact that no 20 point lead is ever safe in the NBA and that maybe the team with the lead gets a little complacent and starts letting the lead slip away. Happens more often than not. That's why I usually only watch the last minute or 2 of the game - that's when the teams get serious about winning.
