We are the champions, my friends...
Wow! As I write this I still don't think it's hit me yet. It wasn't a pretty game last night, but we sealed the championship with a 65-59 win on the road. I also want to say how great the opponent's crowd was. They stayed after cheering for us and even played Queen's "We are the champions" over their sound system. That might be normal hear in Holland, but I don't think you would see much of that back in the states. It was refreshing to see. I didn't shoot well, but that gave the opportunity for my teammates to step up and they sure did! I'm proud of those guys. It's been a grind all season, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing with them. I've been on the losing side plenty of times during playoffs and it really is special being able to win the last game of the season. As far as I understand, we also made history in Holland by going undefeated in playoffs - three sweeps, 10 straight wins. There was also a loyal crowd of fans waiting for us when we got back home. I admire their passion and loyalty to the club. Thank you teammates, coaches, fans, Andrea for supporting me throughout, but most of all God for bringing this all together.
I don't know when I will write next. I will let you all know more when I know more :) Time will tell what God has in store for me.
Take care and God bless,
Mike
