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. ↗

When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game. ↗
