RE: Tweet by Justyn Mutts
I agree that him saying "3 degrees in 5 years, keep that in my back pocket though. I’m tryna go to the league right now. God willing" does mean he's moving on with his life. But can we just take a second to appreciate the "3 degrees in 5 years" part?
When I look back at my own life, one of the toughest parts was a 3-year stretch where I earned an MBA while working at the same time. Damn near drove me crazy because every waking moment was taken for studies or work. So to think this young man earned THREE degrees in 5 years while going to class and playing college basketball is absolutely incredible. I just can't imagine the stress and long hours of work that took.
Justyn seems to be one of those special human beings who can do anything he wants if he puts his mind to it. Whether it be playing in the NBA or being president of a major corporation. Nothing he will do in the future will surprise me.
It'll be fun to watch, too...
