It took me a while to realize that basketball wasn't football.
Most exciting for me was to make the Pro Bowl in 14 of 15 years.
I've caught fish as big as I am. I've caught marlin close to 300 pounds.
I had a hockey puck and stick-the only ones in town. I definitely would have played hockey ahead of football, had it been available.
After a few games I knew I was going to be able to compete. The idea of being a star never crossed my mind.
The basketball coach cut me within two days, so I was back in the pool. I was the first one in the wall after the first 25 yards, but the last one out because I didn't have a flip turn.
