I think the lottery changed everything for us. Once we got Sidney, it helped us turn this franchise around overnight.

I didn't like the way the game was being played.

I think the game has opened up, and that's why I decided to come back and try to be a part of it.

I have two main reasons for retiring. The first is I can no longer play at a level I was accustomed to in the past. That has been very, very frustrating to me throughout this past year. The second one is realizing my health, along with my family, is the most important thing in the world.

I'm sorry I didn't feel any better or play any better, but that's what happens at the end of careers.

Well, I think just a desire to come back and be a part of the game again.

All I can say to the young players is, enjoy every moment of it. Just enjoy every moment of it. Your career goes by very quickly.
