The Bob Love Story: If It's Gonna Be, It's Up To Me

     For my outside reading I decided to read the autobiography about legendary NBA basketball star, Bob "Butter bean" Love.  Bob Love is a very inspirational player.  As a child Love had a very bad stutter, which caused people to misunderstand what he was saying.  He was constantly teased about it and this constant teasing  caused him to become an introvert.  He found comfort in sports though.  He excelled in baseball, football, and basketball.  His best sport was football where he played the quarterback position.  However, Love's speech impediment obscured his dream of playing in the NFL for he could not successfully deliver the plays to his teammates in the huddle. 

     Though he could not play football Love learned to excel in basketball.  He began working on his jump shot and his defense.  Love became a threat on his team.  Love actually attended school in Louisiana. His story shows how no matter what your situation you can overcome it if you believe.
