I was a very passionate basketball player, really enjoyed the sport. I played it my entire life.

Basketball is my passion, and I love it, and I love to see my players succeed. I'm here for them and my children. That's my passion.

My goals have gone from being an all-star to just being able to play basketball. I always took for granted that I could play. Now I know what a gift it is.

The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.

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 greatest gift that I have in life is basketball.

Basketball was always my sport. It just took me until my second year of college for me to realize that I was a better baseball player than a basketball player. But basketball was always my number one love. Finally found out I was better at baseball and chose to pursue that route.

Honestly, the only thing I loved when I was a kid was basketball. I was an athlete when I was a kid, and that was it.

I enjoy basketball. I enjoy coaching basketball. It's the out-of-season stuff I didn't handle well.

I played basketball when I was little because it was fun for me. It still is now. I just love it. I have a passion for it.
