I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.

I was not successful as a ball player, as it was a game of skill.

To be a big league ball player, you have to love the game.

He's a complete player. He is going to be an excellent pro and he could be playing for the Sonics right now just as much as for the Huskies.

But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid, that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen.

Height was a factor. All they were doing was getting the ball into their biggest player.
