Be Like David...Not Like Mike (from Voddie Baucham)

Last week, as the Basketball Hall of Fame inductions neared, I had read a little bit about the different ways that Michael Jordan and David Robinson had ended their careers. While Jordan was likely the best ever, Robinson showed the kind of character that led me to recommend to my athlete son that David Robinson be one of his very few heroes from the world of sports.

I have even more confidence in that recommendation after reading Voddie Baucham's reflections on the speeches these two men gave at the induction ceremony. And if you are in search of a hero - for yourself or for your kids - consider David Robinson - not a perfect man, but a man who gets a lot of things right.
