I have no idea what Lebron will say tonight. I am, however, convinced that it won’t be ANYTHING like the class, the character and the humility that David Robinson showed in his NBA Hall of Fame speech. David talks about real, true and key “decisions” in his life.
He talks about his children
He talks about his wife (unlike Lebron, he has married the mother of his children)
He talks to his Parents
He talks about his friends
He talks about his Pastor
He talks about his Coaches
Most importantly, he talks about Jesus.
When given choices on and off the court, David Robinson made the BEST “Decisions” any man, husband and father can make.

I absolutely love this speech! I’ve seen it several times, and every time it makes me a little bit misty-eyed. 🙂 Thanks for the reminder that David is such an excellent role model for all of us. His example is so encouraging.
When he talks to his sons and his wife I get a little choked up too. It was so genuine and real. Thanks Liz!
I couldn’t help but share this story with video on facebook. Thanks for posting it.
