I've always thought about my legacy - more so, though, my impact off the field and how I'm helping my community and solidifying and strengthening the lives of others around me. And also, I just want to be a dominant football player, too. So it encompasses everything.

I get asked a lot about my legacy. For me, it's being a good teammate, having the respect of my teammates, having the respect of the coaches and players. That's important to me.

I contribute my best in my sport and I also have a ton of respect for myself and my family.

My work ethic is from sports.

I've accomplished so many things in basketball. I financially secured my kids' life and their future. I'm just happy. I'm just blessed. So anything that I'm not awarded doesn't matter because I've been rewarded enough in this lifetime.

My good health, coupled with joy of tobogganing and my desire to be the best, has helped me stay in professional sport for so long.

I look at myself, and how much I've gotten just because I play a sport well.

I thought to myself, 'All right, let's take a look at your resume. You have no financial background. You have basketball, that's what you have, for your whole life.'

I'm very lucky to live my life through a sport that I love. I'm in a very privileged position that my work is my hobby.

First of all, what happens is, when you're good at something, you spend a lot of time with it. People identify you with that sport, so it becomes part of your identity.
