Spud Webb

Life and career
Early years
Webb was born into poverty in Dallas, Texas. He was raised in a small two-bedroom home and used basketball as an inspiration. Webb was not tall, but he used his quickness and jumping ability to outplay the other, bigger kids. Starting in the seventh grade, Webb was told that he was too short to play basketball. He received a chance to play on his junior high team only after two players forgot to complete their physical exam requirements in time for the first game. Webb scored 20 points in that first game. He could dunk the ball when he was 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 m). At Wilmer-Hutchins High School, he played on the junior varsity team where he made a large impact. When he made the varsity team, he averaged 26 points per game.

Famous quotes by Spud Webb:
Speed Up
by: Catherine CorelliINTRO:
Call it love…
You’re alone if you try to follow…
Call it hate…
You’re alone if you try to…
VER1:
I’ll never declare you a deity,
(even though I want it to be reality)
I’ll never idolize you, cuz your flesh and blood.
(even though I feel more than just sympathy)
Sometimes I wanna follow someone to the edge of the
earth
(even though I know that I will never do that)
Bring me to the brim; bring me to the verge,
Take me to the brink, take me to the edge
Till we’re out of line.
VER2:
Sometimes I wish I could be your goddess,
(even though I’ll never ever lead you somewhere)
Sometimes I feel like you can become my demon.
(even though I’ll never follow you to nowhere)
We push our lives forwatill da moment we die
(you can walk beside me, but don’t step in my way)
I’ll bring you to the brim; bring you to the verge,
Take you to the brink, take you to the edge
Till we’re out of line.
BRIDGE:
Catch up with me
If you wanna speed up with me,
Hold on with me,
You got no time to hesitate
I slow down with you
If you want to become a part of me,
And I stop with you
If we speed up together.
CHOR1:
Call it love
(or any other romantic stuff)
Call it hate.
(if you have nothing to tell me)
Anyway
(no matter what you pretend to be)
You are alone if you try to follow.
Walk beside
(If you want to be with me)
Or curse your fate
(I won’t regret if you leave)
Never stop
(closing in equals death)
You are alone if you try to conduct me.
BRIDGE:
Don’t give up
no matter what you pretend to be
Don’t give up
no matter what you want to be
Don’t give up
no matter what you really are
Don’t give up
cuz I’ll turn my back on you.
VER3:
I know the way that it happens
(Close up your illusions, I need reality)
Second after second and day after day
(even though you fill more than just sympathy)
You’ll claim my freedom, but I’ll refuse
(even though I’d feel like I would give it you).
Somewhere on the brim; somewhere on the verge,
Somewhere on the brink, somewhere on the edge
When we’re out of line.
VER4:
Perhaps I could love you more than anyone else…
(Second after second and day after day)
Perhaps I could share some time with you…
(Minute after minute and year after year)
But I’ll never exchange my way for you
(sure I do it if you try to steal me away)
Somewhere on the brim; somewhere on the verge,
Somewhere on the brink, somewhere on the edge
When we’re out of line.
BRIDGE:
Catch up with me
If you wanna speed up with me,
Hold on with me,
You got no time to hesitate
I slow down with you
If you want to become a part of me,
And I stop with you
If we speed up together.
CHOR2:

You are alone if you try to conduct me.
JOINT:
Perhaps I could love you more
Don’t give up! Don’t! Don’t give up!

If we slow down together…
Don’t give up! Don’t! Don’t give up!
