#019 Would You Rather Be Lucky or Good?


Listen Later

Last Saturday, in the NCAA men's basketball semi-final matchup between undefeated Gonzaga and UCLA, in overtime, Jalen Suggs of Gonzaga shoots a nearly half-court shot as time runs out. It banks off the glass and in...FOR THE WIN!

It's being called one of the greatest college basketball games of all time.

Analyst Skip Bayless disagrees and said this via twitter.

"No idea how you can call that an all-time great college basketball game when it was won by a lucky shot."

Skip Bayless has since been massively roasted for uttering such a statement.

This begs the question, "Was Jalen Suggs lucky?"

Let me ask you, "Would YOU rather be lucky or good?”

Being good prepares you to be lucky.

"Luck comes to the prepared mind… how any hours of basketball has that boy played? Yes, it was a lucky shot, but it came after hours of preparation to be in the right place at the right time to have the opportunity to take the shot. He also had the gumption to try.”

Alicia Berberich

LUCKY IS AN EXCUSE NOT TO BE GOOD.

GOOD IS THE BEST REASON FOR REPEATED LUCK.
