I am reaching a point in my life where the basketball chapter in my life is slowly closing from a competition standpoint.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game.
Basketball is one of those rare opportunities where you can make a difference, not only for yourself, but for other people as well.
I've been an athlete and competitor my whole life, and there's nothing more that I get off on than competition.
For me, basketball kind of mirrors life. It sounds deep, but the sport has transformed my personality and my daily coping mechanisms. It has meant a lot.
I love the game of basketball, and as long as I can do that, keep playing and try to get some more championships with the organization, I'll be happy.
When I step on that basketball court, I'm thinking about basketball, I'm thinking about winning - but there's so much that goes into thought about how I'm going to open this game up to others. It's so much more than just basketball.
I've been in a competitive situation almost all my life. I've been having a competition with myself and trying to be the best I could be.
I'm a competitive person. I love the game of basketball. I'm a gym rat.
As a professional athlete a lot is going to be said about you - but I just try to move forward and try to achieve my goals.
I was into basketball, but then once I found contact sports, it was over. I never played basketball again in my life.
