I'd like to be settled into somewhat of a normal life. Somewhat. I know it's never going to be completely normal.

If I had been playing for money I would have complained a long time ago that I was underpaid.

Being afraid on the court, means you're not confident of your skills

Basketball isn't just about the bright lights, packed arenas and highlight reels. Basketball is a way of life. Basketball is a relationship between you and the ball, you and your teammates. If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.

Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.

I wasn't really a work conscious type of person.

I play to win, whether during practice or a real game.
