What makes a champion? Is it an unrelenting at ude, belief in yourself, focus and determination? A champion is a strong compe or who never quits, never surrenders. A true champion would rather fall down while striving and exerting maximum effort, than to sit down because he or she is tired. I remember maintaining a wide horse-stance in karate class for what seemed like hours while our instructor often repeated that it was acceptable to collapse to the ground, but forbidden to stand up to find relief. Quitting is never an option for winners. Remember the words of Tim Allen's Captain Nesmith character in Galaxy Quest, "Never quit. Never surrender."
At Wimbledon this year, we witnessed a true champion in action: According to the Associated Press, "Hobbled and hurting and essentially playing on one leg, Serena Williams managed to gut out a three-set victory." At one point, Williams fell to the ground, experiencing a crippling leg cramp. "I thought about not finishing, but very briefly. I thought I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I hadn't at least tried" she said after the event. Serena Williams summoned all of the strength and for ude within her and found victory, as a true champion will. Against all odds, she prevailed.
. . .There is always something to be learned from past experiences, something that we can reach inward for that will that will furnish the drive and inspiration to prevail.

Spurs will be doing the same thing tonight. learning from the break downs in games 1-2, and 5 and will endure a furious effort by the Hornet enemy (a stauch and inspired one) and take this game 6, before taking the series back in NOH in game 7 for the final victory of the series.
Martial law is declared against the Hornets in SAS tonight. For the Battle Commander in absentia, PDR Ret US. Army Medical Corps.
We can only hope you're right. FWIW, even though I don't see the Spurs winning the series, I too believe they won't quit.
My biggest nightmare is that this will be like the Dallas game 7 in '06---we fall behind big early, then catch up and lose a heartbreaker in the end....
PROVE ME WRONG, SPURS!!!
we make it to game 7.
on the Road. As underdogs.
But I like it.
NO to Over-confidence.
We will either find a way, or make one
Reporting to duty, Sir
