I started playing baseball and soccer. Those were my sports on the streets and in school when I was growing up. I didn't even start playing basketball until I was 14.

Jamal Crawford reminds me the most of myself, the way he goes to the basket. But they need leadership.

Maybe someone will step up, but they don't have anyone right now.

When people ask me what I miss most about the game, it's being in the locker room and getting to know the guys. Back in those days, we had roommates. We had to talk basketball and that was a great way to understand the game itself and form those lasting relationships.

People wonder why I smile a lot. It is because I am doing what I love best: to play football for people who love me. It makes me happy.

Every professional athlete owes a debt of gratitude to the fans and management, and pays an installment every time he plays. He should never miss a payment.

Bobsledders are big athletes, and I'm a big athlete.

I work differently. I enjoy creating a space around me and not getting too high or too low. But I am continuously looking to get better - not just as a tennis player but also as a person dealing with new experiences.
