Traducao (Portugues)

Eu tinha um propósito. Uma meta. Queria ser o melhor jogador de basquete que já viveu. Desde os seis anos, esse era meu propósito. Tudo que eu fazia, tudo que colocava no meu corpo, era para me tornar o melhor. Descanso não é algo com que me sinto confortável. Não vou sentar aqui e dizer que não estava nervoso. Estava muito nervoso. Mas você tem que abraçar a ansiedade. Usá-la como combustível. Mentalidade Mamba é sobre ser obcecado com os detalhes. Sobre ser melhor todo dia. Não melhor que outra pessoa. Melhor do que você era ontem.
