You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.

I play football in training all the time with my male friends, who are also professionals. But playing together in competition? I just don't see it. We have the ability, we have the technique, we have the tactical understanding, but there are physical limitations. You can't get away from that.

For one thing, when you're playing as well as I was at the time, you think you can play with anything. That isn't true, of course, but I didn't know it then.

My boys told me they'd rather play than practice.

There's nothing like playing. You can coach and you can be around the game, but there is nothing like playing. It's just so much fun.

Playing two people is definitely difficult, but it's made possible by everyone around me, and it's a big team effort.

Technique is everything and we play a contact sport.

If you're playing basketball with someone who's better than you, you have to get better or else it's no fun.

When you play against different people from all walks of life you can't do the same thing against every player defensively or offensively. You have to change up the way you go at a player.
