I liked the game, I enjoyed the game, and the game fed me enough, and gave me enough rewards to reinforce that this is something that I should spend time doing, and that I could possibly make a priority in my life, versus other sports.

With the crowds on your side, it's easier to play up to your potential.

But you know, we have a very normal family. We've had our ups and downs. You know, we've had our issues, but we've had great cause for celebration.

When the crowd appreciates you, it encourages you to be a little more daring, I think.

I grabbed 19 rebounds in my first professional game, and somehow found a way to score 20 points. I felt real good about it. I felt that this was the beginning of something good.

And I continued to grow until I was 25 years old.

I keep both eyes on my man. The basket hasn't moved on me yet.
