	Bill Walton on John Wooden
		John Wooden gave us the necessary tools to overcome the adversity and obstacles that he knew from the beginning would always be in our way.
		John Wooden also represents the conquest of sacrifice, hard work and commitment to achievement over the pipe dream that some one will just give you something or that you can take a pill or turn a key to get what you want.
		John Wooden still has the enthusiasm, energy, industriousness, initiative and love of life that allows him to get up every day, quite early I must add, even though the legs are now failing him, with the attitude of "we get to play basketball today.
