Quinton Coples hears and reads the criticism without losing sight of what matters most in his life. He is a physical force, a large human, but his goals stretch far beyond the confines of the game he was blessed to play. “I want to be great,” Coples told the Daily News in a quiet moment. “I want to have a positive legacy. I want people to be inspired by me." (New York Daily News)
