I can still play this game at a high level; I've proven that. I want to be home. I want to be close to my family. I want to be close to my foundation and my business interests.

I think in every lesson there's a blessing, and there's so many blessings from all the lessons I've had to go through in life.

I'm excited about what the future will bring and I think the best is yet to come.

I listen to myself. I listen to my body, my mind, I follow my heart.

I am reaching a point in my life where the basketball chapter in my life is slowly closing from a competition standpoint.

I want to live 50 more years. I'm 33 years old... and I want to live to at least be 80 and see my kids grow up and see my grandkids. That's important to me.

I was hurting. I had some ailments I was dealing with. It's not like I was holding out.
