"What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player"
                                                               -John Wooden

   What  he means by this quote is that being you is more important than being something else. Being your self is way more important then being a basket player. Being a good person will get you further in life like having appreciation and respect. You might have fame but would it make you happy if your not being your self out there?  People will see you in a different way. You being a bad person out there on the court will make you feel bad because you know well that your not being your self. You have to be the good person you always have been choosing the right.
