I loved the game. We played because we loved it.

I love the game and I am so lucky to be able to do what I love.

I love playing characters that are strong, when there's physicality involved.

I love my legs.

Playing gives me as much good feeling now as it did when I was a bitty kid.

Soccer was my first love, and I enjoyed playing on the left wing until a groin injury forced me out of the game in 2008.

I have to say. I kind of love all that stuff - those physical challenges. I guess there will come a time when I'll get sick of it but at this stage, I just like it all.

I love playing the game. I always have. Of course, winning matches makes it much sweeter. The wins and the losses always lead to these big moments, unless you're Serena Williams.

I still love the preparation of the game. I think that actually helps you heal faster, still being around it; it keeps you motivated. It keeps you engaged, and I want to be around my teammates.

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.
