I was raised by my great-great aunt. I was adopted within our family. My mother had me when she was, I think, 15, 16. They tried to get her to have an abortion and she refused.

I heard that all the time. ‘He makes it look too easy, he doesn’t run hard.’ It was always a slight on me.

Them sportswriters don't even know how to put uniforms on, most of 'em.
