doctors serious-illness people
Once my doctor began treating my kidney disease, my greatest challenge was the constant exhaustion. Fortunately, my doctor explained that anemia was causing my exhaustion and that people with serious illnesses, like kidney disease, may be at increased risk for anemia.
sports thinking people
So many people feel that once you reach a certain age then it's time for you to retire from a sport you love. I don't think that's true at all. I think age should not dictate that.
sports struggle people
There's nobody else on the face of this earth that's playing a sport at a highest level... with a transplant. That alone continues to inspire me, because I realize throughout the whole world the struggles that people are going through. I need to inspire them the best way I can.
people tough-times lasts
Tough times don't last, but tough people do. And I've been through some tough times, and I know a lot of people can recall tough times, and maybe are going through some tough times right now, but they don't last.
basketball should-have people
If I would have listened to other people back in 2000 telling me I should have stopped playing basketball because of a kidney disease, I wouldn't have won a world championship.
feeling series wait
The series isn't over. I've just got to wait and see. I've got to keep progressing. As long as I keep progressing, I'll keep feeling positive.
couple falling game opportunity thank truly
Everything is just falling into place. I do feel great. I feel good, thank God. I'm very, very appreciative of this opportunity that I have. And I play the game like I'm appreciative, because I truly am. I know a couple years ago, I didn't think I was going to be able to do this again.
expect
I've been around him 10 years with him. You never ever know what he's going to so you can expect anything.
collecting expect nine wins
I've been around for nine or 10 years with him. You never ever know what he's going to do, so you can expect anything. Hey, as long as we're collecting wins when he's doing it, that's all that counts.
continues
Every day that it continues to progress, I'm able to see improvement.
time
It is discouraging. But at the time same, I know it could have been worse.
foolish trying
We can't look at them. We've got to go out there and do it ourselves. We're foolish if we're trying to look at the referees.
biggest concern stop worrying
We've got to stop worrying about the offense, too. Our biggest concern should be our defense.
hope run time
Time and work. I just hope we don't run out of time.
