Today I watched a crowd of 24,000 plus fans stand to cheer one of the greatest athletes of my time. As Andre Agassi took his chair, he burst into tears. The noise of the crowd would escalate, totally overwhelming Agassi’s emotions. With his hands covering his face, he would glance out to see the crowd that was showering him with so much endearment. Andre, once again, continued to weep. I also wept.

Can anyone think of an athelete who has changed more than Andre over the course of his career? Contrast the photos and video of him now with this gem.
