My basketball career would be over. I’d be in my early forties and out of shape, would have to find a new way to provide for my wife. And Relle. She assured me she’d wait, but ten years was ridiculous,
I was used to just talking on the side with players and not demanding the floor and speaking,
The coaches, and the GM, and everybody in the front office, and the players,
They believed in me, too. They didn't count me out. There was people counting me out, thinking I should retire or whatever, but yeah, I got a lot to go. I'm not retiring, so we can just cut that out."
