Celi dropped another gem.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgqZyMDHmEE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgqZyMDHmEE</a>

I watched his video a few more times, decided to share it:

Quote
A superb video my friend Steven Celi put together. He's well known in the dunk game for his commitment, passion, relentless hard work, creativity, motivation etc. The thing that stands out the most to me, is simply how he immerses himself in the process and tries to understand how all of the tiny details fit together. Transformations are difficult, no matter what the endeavor. It's a puzzle, that must be put together. It's easy to look outward for answers - but truly understanding why one component works & another doesn't, is crucial and most often discovered inward - through trial and error. A few of those sentences rhymed, though that was not intended. Closing 2017 on a positive note. GO.GeT.IT 8|

Thing is.. his video editing & photography have improved so much, just reminds me of how he approached dunking. He has gotten really good at learning through trial and error IMHO .. which is great stuff. Gives him a unique angle on things IMHO.

“People think confidence is the belief that you have the ability to win, or at least to compete with the best. But that’s not what confidence is, or where it comes from. Confidence has nothing to do with outcome. Confidence doesn’t come from knowing that you control the outcome of a given event or moment. It comes from knowing that you control your response to a given event. Can you maintain the characteristics of a champion, regardless of what life throws at you? If you can – that’s confidence.” - @benbergeron .

Just a small clip. I love it, especially because it's "words during a press conf" by LEBRON.

Nike's on point lately. Love this:

Be more than a national hereo.
Be a national hero in a country you weren't born in.
