Every little kid that steps on the court or the field has aspirations to go pro. I think being a pro basketball player is the best job. The thing I had to realize was that I can't do every dream that I have.

Handball, swimming, running, jumping, basketball, and boxing were as much a part of me as breathing.

He knew I enjoyed the relationships of college basketball. All along, he was the wise one.

I enjoy the last quarter of all basketball games.

I had never picked up a basketball before. I went through a grueling audition process. It was almost as if I was learning to walk. It would be like teaching somebody to dance ballet for a role.
