The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

I firmly believe that sleep and recovery are critical aspects of an effective and holistic training program.

I have a memory, and I can just eliminate mistakes when they come up because I've already made them.

Because my career is so important, I think I make a lot of - I wouldn't call them sacrifices, but just concessions for my job. I love what I do, and I want to do it for a long time.

I would never tell anybody to give up hockey - the great sports we have here - basketball, lacrosse - rugby coming into its own - we've got so many great team sports, and I say hold on to them.

We really have some of the best fans in the NBA, in sports in general. Here, you get a consistent base, people support. People love the Spurs, and that's special. That's not everywhere.

I know if you get mad, and in a world with all the competitors I've been around in my life, either from fighting or wrestling or other sports, you have to learn to breathe.

I've been on enough sports teams in my life to have experienced the magic of what can happen when a group of people care for and love each other.
