“Other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my life than Coach Smith. He was more than a coach – he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father. Coach was always there for me whenever I needed him and I loved him for it. In teaching me the game of basketball, he taught me about life. My heart goes out to Linnea and their kids. We've lost a great man who had an incredible impact on his players, his staff and the entire UNC family.” MenHeartKidsFatherGamesLostParentTeacherPlayerInfluenceTeachingTaughtNeededMy HeartBasketballBiggerImpactIncrediblesCoachesGreat MenMentorStaffAlways There For MeUnc Author:Michael Jordan
“I tell people that the scales lie. You may have played basketball and weighed 175 pounds, with a 30-inch waist, back when you were in college. And you may still weigh 175 at 55. But you probably have a 35-inch waist and you've probably lost 30 or 40 pounds of muscle -- and gained 30 or 40 pounds of fat. The tape measure doesn't lie. Get that tape measure out and put it on your hips and your waist. Keep checking it. And keep exercising and cutting those calories down until that tape measure gets close to where you were in your prime.” PeopleMayStillsLyingLostCuttingCollegeExerciseBasketballScalesFatsHipsMusclesPoundsPrimeInchesTapeBack WhenCalories Author:Jack LaLanne
