"Just a Name"
Words of wisdom written by @chold1 (Chamique Holdsclaw) on Twitter. It's written in Twitterspeak (smh = "shaking my head") but the words are wise. (I wonder if they're directed towards one of The Claw's present teammates?)
Stop pointin da finger accept responsibility 4 ur actions that's wat a wise man does a dumb mf makes excuses. Smh Kids 2day jus don't get it. Well sum people in general. Stop thinkin the grass is greener on da other side. Thru experience I know dats not always da case.
Its funny you can be an awesome player but when ur teammates are fed up and have no respect for u its means nothing. A coach once told Teammate u walk around like ur gods gift 2 bball wat have u done As I heard this I realized she had not accomplish nothing major.Just a name.
A great player plays produces n encourages n on a bad night continue 2 encourage. All along neva bringn others down its about da team not u.
UPDATE: Commenters Gary and Scarab believe that this message is directed towards a teen that The Claw is mentoring.
I was poking around on Twitter to see what she was talking about and I think that's directed toward one of the kids she mentors. She seems to be very frustrated with her.
ReplyDeleteI believe Gary's right
ReplyDeleteSo that's what SMH means. I had no idea. The more you know.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy following Chamique on Twitter. Back before Twitter, When I was a Mystics STH, we didn't know what was going on with her. It's easy to develop a pretty inaccurate picture of a public figure...and with the Claw especially with all the tribulations and speculation surrounding her over the past several years.
ReplyDeleteI hope she keeps up her level (amount, frankness of) of Twittering (tweeting?).
Oh, and besides some insight, I've also gained a whole new vocabulary...although I dont see myself referring to my car as the "whip".
