It’s not your time young man. We are the kings, guaran-sheed. Take the beating, and learn from it.
But that’s why they play the game.
Three games, at most four, and that’s all. You’re overmatched, inexperienced. You’re not ready for the crown young prince.
But that’s why they play the game.
Pay your dues. Suffer defeat. You are going to be better for it, youngster. The greatest of them all had to pay his dues, and so will you. This defeat was inscribed onto your fate long ago, accept it and wait your turn.
But that’s why they play the game.
He forges his own destiny. He is no facsimile. He is no rip-off. He’s legit. Conceding nothing and refusing the “inevitable”. It may shock the world, but he expects it. He demands it, of himself and of his mates.
That is why they play the game. That is why the game is beautiful, the spontaneity, the unexpected…great expectations coming to fruition.
Spread the word. He has arrived.
