put forth their best efforts. He has won many awards such as
M.V.P. of the Pepsi Holiday Tournament, Central Michigan Slam Dunk
Champion, M.V.P. of the Saginaw Dream Team, M.V.P. for the Magic
Johnson Roundball and the number 1 Small Forward in Nation among
many, many others throughout his career; and,
WHEREAS, Jason's prowess on the basketball court has made him a
wealthy man, but he wants to stress that good grades also bring
financial rewards. He states: "You have to have a businesslike
approach, even now during your young years. If you have dreams
and goals, you can't hang around the wrong crowd." He goes on to
say that he didn't like school growing up, but going to school and
taking it seriously got him where he is right now; and,
WHEREAS, In addition to Jason's God given talent, he praises his
mother for her love and support which steered him in the right
direction and taught him to respect all people. More importantly,
to keep God first and be determined to achieve what the Lord has
planned for him to do and be.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, On behalf of the Saginaw County
Board of Commissioners, I hereby congratulate Jason Richardson for
being chosen by the Golden State Warriors as the fifth pick in the
National Basketball Association draft. It is a genuine pleasure
to extend official praise and recognition to him as he embarks on
one of the most exciting and rewarding times of his life. We wish
him success in October, and indeed, in all of his future
endeavors!
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That this expression of recognition be
spread upon the minutes of the August 14, 2001 meeting as a
permanent record and duly inscribed upon parchment and presented
to him.
