The marketing of players has created untold wealth for many sports stars. You can't blame them or the company that covets the relationship with them, but that doesn't mean the player is good.

You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.

There are many players who don't measure up to their marketability.

When it's time for me to walk away from something, I walk away from it. My mind, my body, my conscience tell me that enough is enough.

The passion to win games, the incredible, focused energy and also the camaraderie of the team were all things that I really loved.

You can't imagine how much good luck is involved in winning, but all of a sudden, you get in a situation where every break goes your way, every call goes your way, every ball that rolls around drops in instead of out. It feels magical.

I always wanted the ball in my hands with a game on the line, as I think any real competitor does.
