You know what's so crazy about it? In high school, I played basketball and I was a trash-talker. Basketball is such a one-on-one sport and if I know I've got the ability to beat the guy, I can talk trash.

I'm not a trash talker. I respect my opponents.

I could've played basketball, but my mind was on baseball. I didn't know what I was in for. In high school it was a matter of talent. No one told you what to do.

That game right there is how basketball should be played.

I'm not a trash talker, but if it comes to me, I'm going to step up to the plate and accept a challenge from any player who says I'm over the hill or too fat or that kind of stuff. I'll show you on the field.
