I was a baseball guy. Mom wouldn't let me play football when I was little because she was scared I'd get hurt. So, I finally convinced her to let me play in 7th grade.
For me, to just have my own shoe is unbelievable. As a kid, you see Jordans and wonder what that feels like to have your own shoe, and the fact that I have one is really surreal.
It is just fantastic that it is still here. If they hadn't started fixing it up, the partnership hadn't started fixing it up, it would have been gone.
He's a good player, you know. We didn't throw the ball. Didn't have too many chances to go up against him, not one on one.
