‘His best was as good as it gets’

“The truly great ones, the ones who put every drop of energy they have into what they do, often reach a point where, very suddenly, it occurs to them that they aren’t what they once were. Their energy level isn’t the same; their enjoyment of what they do isn’t the same; their desire isn’t the same. And, in most cases, they aren’t winning as much, and every one of them craves winning.”
John Feinstein in an excellent column on the retirement of Coach Bob Knight
