                     "What you are as a person is far more important than

                                                   what you are as a basketball player."

What I think that this quote means is that you are far more important than what you are as a basketball player what I think that this quote means is that if you're a good basketball player and everyone that goes for the team that you play in and the crowd cheers for you all the time and you're the most important player of the team and everyone that goes for the team that you play says that the team won because you were playing and you are more important than the basketball team is but you are more important than a basketball player. You are more important than a basketball player because if you were just important for playing basketball and you retire for playing people won't think that you are important anymore at  all because you don't play basketball anymore and because you were only important when you were playing in the team and they won.
