I'm going to be wearing the Stryker hat because I'm a walking testimonial to the fact that you can get your knee replaced and still play at a really high level and get your life back.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Stryker was a company that allowed me, when I had my knee replaced and I got the Stryker GetAroundKnee put in, to get my career back and get my life back.
I try to encourage all my teammates, and I sure hope that some day all athletes - my kids, high school kids - get the same level of care I get. Because you can play for a long period of time without having knee replacements, without having all the major head trauma that people are dealing with.
It's just been so heartwarming to see my clothes on people in wheelchairs and people needing physical support.
I totally wouldn't mind being able to wave my hand head to toe and have, like, a whole new outfit.
Sports are supposed to be fun, and so I have fun with the way I dress.
I just don't want to end up on something that bores the hell out of me. Otherwise, I'll fake a knee injury and get out of there.
I can't walk down the street with my head up. I'm not a hat wearer, but now I'm a hat wearer.
I always keep my repertorial hat on.
What I decide to wear literally depends on how I'm feeling that day.
It's going to be a rule, I think, for wearing a crash hat, and I actually fractured my skull through not wearing a hat. I was so lucky to escape from that, and now, it's something I always do.
