Discovering I'm gay just sort of happened much later in life.

I had never made any plans beyond basketball.

Sexuality and gender don't change anyone's performance on the court.

I've accomplished everything a person can accomplish on a basketball court, but I never thought about the future when I was younger. I never made plans for the next stage in my life.

No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back.

It's frustrating - not that I expect to be the same person I was 10 years ago, but I do expect to do certain things. In all honesty, my body for the most part feels really good. But at this point of my career, I have to rely on different parts of my game, knowing how to take some short cuts when you can.

Be positive and work hard. I think it's possible to overcome anything, if you're willing to work at it.
