As a professional athlete, the small print says there could be a trade at some point in your career. Sometimes expected, sometimes not. You have to be able to handle that.

As a player, I could have the ball in my hands; I could kind of dictate what happens. I'm still learning, a young coach with young players. Sometimes I'm going to see things. They're not going to see what I see. So it's being able to translate that and help them see what I'm seeing.

I wasn't a guy who looked to score first. It was to get your teammates involved, to understand time and clock management and having fun with your teammates.

The ball touched the paint a lot of times. When we talk about touching the paint, the ball touches the key for making a layup or making a play for a teammate. We've got to use our length and our speed. Defensively, getting deflections. Give up one shot and rebound.

I work with kids every day, and I preach to them how much more they make and how much easier it is to get a job when they get a college education.

I am much more of a geek than I am an athlete.

I'm trying to have some longevity in this business. If that means not working for a while and just picking the right job, so be it.

As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I've done my job.
