Once I made a decision, I never thought about it again.

One day, you might look up and see me playing the game at 50. Don’t laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.

Sometimes I wonder what it will be like to look back on all of this, whether it will even seem real.

Suddenly all is quiet. The other nine players? They’re all moving in slow motion! I’m at normal speed! I know where everyone’s going even before they know themselves. The basket is huge, maybe six feet across! How can I miss? It’s like throwing a rock into a pond.

The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I’m out there, no one can bother me.

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.

The players today reflect how much the game has evolved and changed both in style and culture. The game now has a wider appeal to a larger market.

There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail.

There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don’t believe there is only one greatest player either.

We all fly. Once you leave the ground, you fly. Some people fly longer than others.
