'We all have it in our power to make the most out of every day despite what happens, to turn setbacks into strengths.' In his Basketball Hall of Fame speech Saturday, Chris Bosh reflected on being forced to retire from the NBA due to blood clots.

It's a question that awaits every athlete, but for Chris Bosh it came not with his on-court abilities in decline, but while he was still near the peak of his talents — just 31 years old.

A tough choice for someone who dedicated their life to reaching the pinnacle of the sport — and did so twice with two titles alongside LeBron James and Dwyane Wade with the Miami Heat — but one that taught him an important lesson about life beyond basketball. "By now I don't have to tell you there were plenty of tears that day, and in the days since, but in going through those crossroads I eventually came to realize that we all have it in our power to make the most out of every day despite what happens, to turn setbacks into strengths."
