Former players like David Robinson Magic Johnson continue to command respect for their personal integrity and unparalleled sportsmanship.
I have to say that his courage, his straight-forwardness and his honesty really command respect.
Hence, selfishness, slacking, corruption, seeking the limelight, and so on, are most contemptible, while selflessness, working with all one's energy, whole-hearted devotion to public duty, and quiet hard work will command respect.
Your quiet hard work will command respect.
