I don't feel like basketball is the only way to make a living.
I'm not chasing money, so I'm not looking at just trying to stretch out a deal artificially just to have a certain number.
Life for me outweighs the game of basketball.
Nothing means more to me than helping my team win.
I have people that I'm close to that give me things to read throughout the season, and in particular in the playoffs and the postseason.
I've discovered new parts of my manhood, places I couldn't get to without loving someone else unconditionally and putting others before myself.
