Update: John Wooden dies at 99

Like the man said:


"Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books — especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day."


Other Woodenisms:


"Learn as if you were to live forever; live as if you were to die tomorrow."


"Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you."


Those 10 NCAA basketball championships with UCLA seem to be a mere footnote to the man's life.


The sports scene needs more guys like this. Shoot, the whole world at large needs more guys like this.
