It wasn't an easy decision. There's so many things going on during the recruiting process that basketball could be affected. It's just a lot of pressure off of me, and now that's it's over, I can just focus.

When she finally made the decision -- I want to be a basketball player and I want to be as good as I can be -- that's when she really started to develop.

I came out of the womb a basketball player. That's what I played since I was 2 or 3 years old, but she wanted me to have versatility in my life, to be good at more than one thing. The more options you have, the better possibilities you have.

The decision by the unions is unfortunate, but it clearly underlines the need for a level playing field. This affirms the need for a ban on smoking in all public places.

We're not a very good basketball team. We're very poor right now, and until we make a decision to mentally concentrate for 32 minutes, we'll be average at best.

I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
