There are so many issues in society - we talk about the violence, the drugs, the unwanted pregnancies - but at the end of the day, it comes down to what we taught our children to be.
huge life success
Success isn't always going to be a huge contract; success is going to be if you just live out your purpose in life.
biggest intensity rest work
Yeah, I do feel it, ... I think going at this intensity is new ... The biggest thing is how much rest it's going to have to have in between. That's what's going to be determined. It's still a work in progress.
allow injuries knee last possibly
Over the last two years, I have done everything I could possibly do to get back on the court, but injuries to my knee would not allow me to do it.
coach good respectful sure whatever
They've been really respectful and cooperative, ... I think the trainers have been good about how we're doing this and everyone's been communicating. At the same time, I don't want to be disruptive, either, to Coach (Larry Brown) and to Isiah and to the team. I want to make sure I'm doing whatever I can and my body's making the right progress.
build coach consistency couple gain hopefully momentum players start
They're young. There hasn't been a lot of consistency with players. Hopefully when the organization can gain some momentum through some consistency with some players and the coach being there a couple of years. That's really how you start to build it back.

believed body emotions fans heart running strictly truly
I always said that I would be back and told the fans that I would be back, and I always truly in my heart believed that, ... But sometimes your will, your passion, your competitiveness, kind of override what your body is going through, and I was strictly running off of those emotions and that will.
almost building crowd fought last time wonderful
I almost fought back a lot of tears, honestly. It was great, a wonderful feeling. The last time I'd been in this building with a crowd was when I played.

I just don't have it in my mind that I'm not going to be able to come back, honestly.
allow career finish happen injury move possibly time
I pictured this day for a long time but I didn't think it was going to happen so soon. ... I did everything that I possibly could to get back and finish my career the way I would have like to. But the injury wouldn't allow me to do that. This is the right time for me to move on.
body disruptive sure time whatever
At the same time I don't want to be disruptive either, ... I want to make sure I'm doing whatever I can and my body is making the right progress.
