When I look back, I'm glad I grew up in a small town. There, it's just you, your family and whatever you make of it.

I've been blessed with some luck, great ability and athleticism. That's really what's made me a great player, but I think the reason I've been able to last this long is the little things like taking care of my body.

The street is where we all learn. I played organized football growing up as well, but when that was over, I went right to the street. I remember twisting my ankles, breaking my thumb, I hurt everything when I was little playing street ball.

Time heals all things.

I don't worry about getting tired. I try not to let it guide me as far as how much I'm going to play. I play with my heart.

If something's wrong with my body, I make sure to address it right away and not try to let it linger because it creates a bigger problem. You just have to understand your body, and when your body tells you something you just have to react.

When you're a little kid, you want the ball. You don't want to play defense. When you get the ball, basically you can do whatever you want.
