I am always playing hard trying to win. Just knowing that at one time I was once that kid that looked up to NBA players and NFL players. Today these kids look up me.

I've won at every level.

Whether you're a veteran like me or a high school athlete, the most important thing you can do is keep your body healthy.

I dedicated myself to the game and never disrespected it.

My idol, Gary Payton, played 19 years. I definitely want to try to reach that.

You've got to love the game and the game will love you back.

Obviously, you want to get the best deal possible for yourself, but teams just don't want to spend that money for fear of being in the luxury tax.
