I don't play full court anymore. I just play half-court.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that's what it's all about; you work hard and practice to play on the big courts.
I'm 56 years old. I like to get out on the court. I continue to try to play the best I can. Obviously, I'm nowhere near where I was when half this age. But I can still hit a pretty decent ball.
I try to do my best to have fun off the court.
What I know is that if you're going to play half-court, you'd better have the greatest executioners of half-court basketball. If you run, you test the stamina and willpower of the other team. That's what I learned as a player.
Oh, I get pretty fired up on the court. I try to play with a lot of emotion, especially when I'm playing in front of a large crowd. I want to go out and do my best, and to do that, I have to play with the most energy possible.
I give up on spending time on these courts; I give up on practicing before the tournament I hate. I hate this.
When I'm on the court, I try to play with all my emotion and heart.
I play a lot of basketball.
When I'm on the court, I feel all problems go away.
Three to four times a week, I get up at 7:30 A.M. while the courts are empty at Venice Beach and play full court one-on-one.
