Austin Reaves: “I’ve spoken on this 1,000,000 instances… you already know, the trail that I took isn’t typical. There’s in all probability solely a handful of those that thought I’d be on this place, if any. It wasn’t actually the favored factor to do to proceed to chase my dream. You understand, I didn’t really do anything in high school but go to the gym—don’t party, don’t drink, or anything like that. I kind of just stuck to basketball and chose that route. I do know I had academics in highschool telling me I wanted to determine a Plan B as a result of, you already know, Plan A wasn’t going to work. Like, I’ve been instructed that 1,000,000 instances. And I perhaps wasn’t good sufficient to know that as a result of, you already know, it’s a really small share that makes it to this stage. So I used to be in all probability naive after they had been telling me that, and was like, ‘Ah, screw y’all, I’m going to determine it out.’ And it’s simply—if I can encourage children in my state of affairs to proceed to chase their goals, no matter it’s, simply do it. No matter what anyone thinks of you.”* -via YouTube / February 11, 2025
