17. The Rock Has Finally Made It To The Cover Of Sports Illustrated
WWF Legend The Rock has finally made it to the cover of Sports Illustrated and below is what he wrote on Instagram:
EXCLUSIVE NEW COVER!
Failure can be a cool & powerful thing.. When I was 15yrs old and started playing football, I had a dream that one day I’d play in the NFL and be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Keep in mind, at 15, I also considered becoming a pro-boxer ’cause I thought I could be beat Mike Tyson who at that time, became the youngest ever Heavyweight Champ, so clearly my goals were extremely ambitious if not crack pipe level impossible.
I failed to make it to the NFL (as well as got cut from the Canadian Football League). But my football failure created a drive that still pushes me today.
Now years later THE COVER of @SportsIllustrated dream & goal was just achieved. Holy s***! (that’s the 15yr old in me talkin’;). At the end of the day, I want to surround myself with the hungriest and most brilliant team, because I never want to just play in the game, I always want change the way the game played.
And thank God I didn’t fight Mike Tyson.
