B

\\x0d\\x0d

He is a lesson to every boy who ever picked up a\\x0dbasketball and dreamed that it would change his life.

\\x0d\\x0d

The lights were never brighter and the crowds were\\x0dnever bigger for a homegrown sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago\\x0dfor Ray Hall. But his athletic achievements as impressive as they are are to\\x0dmy mind not what is most admirable about the man.

\\x0d\\x0d

Known as “Sugar Ray” in his teens Hall was rated\\x0damong the country’s top 25 high school basketball players. An inner-city kid\\x0dfrom a solid family Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College —\\x0dstill recovering from its failure — back to respectability rejecting more\\x0dfavorable offers. His status of a savior (救世主) brought\\x0dmore pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle. However I watched\\x0dhim mature into the player who led Canisius back to daylight.

\\x0d\\x0d

After college Hall played professionally in Italy and\\x0dGreece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball\\x0dcareer. The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many\\x0dothers he was ready for life after basketball. When I met Hall — still fit at\\x0d46 — for lunch Monday he wore a cut-sharp gray suit designer tie and blazing\\x0dwhite shirt that screamed Success. “That was always the question — when the cheers\\x0dend where do you go? Who do you turn to?” he said. “It starts and ends with\\x0dthat person in the mirror.”

\\x0d\\x0d

Hall got the concept of academics-first from his\\x0dparents. He graduated from Canisius a semester early. “No matter how good of an\\x0dathlete you are you are just one injury away from losing it all ” he said.\\x0d“But if you take care of things academically you are prepared until you leave\\x0dthis earth.”

\\x0d\\x0d

For the past 14 years he has been in a computer sales\\x0djob at Ingram Micro. He married his college sweetheart. They have three kids\\x0dand a nice house in the suburbs. He figured out early what others learn too\\x0dlate: Athletics is part of a journey not the destination.
