“ was wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."

This statement is a quote from former college basketball coach, Dean Smith. I actually really like this quote for a couple of reasons. One, it really shows what a humble man Dean Smith was. Another is because it shows that the legacy didn't matter to him as much as being a good person did. Lastly, because in being a good person, in making the right decisions, he did leave his legacy. I think the quote is very sweet and inspirational. It is inspirational because it makes you realize that the legacy you leave behind won't matter, won't be good enough, unless you try to do what is right. I admire Dean Smith for putting the way that he treated people first and how good a coach he was second. One day I hope to be as successful as he was. I will choose the right like him.
