There's a big decision to be made, and hopefully it will be made in the near future.
This is going to be a very difficult year for me, to sit out. I've had a uniform on every year since I was 7 years old. For me to have to sit back and watch and not be proactive ... it's going to be hard for me.
I think we knew that when I got released back in August that there was a possibility that I was going to play this year. Now it's kind of becoming a reality.
I scared her enough for one lifetime when I passed out. I still think about how scary that was for her. I would never want to put her in a position where I would scare her like that again.
I had great visits with both those teams. But the medical staffs of both teams were a little hesitant on clearing me to play. So we thought we would wait until next year.
I plan on coming back and playing. I'm jogging a little bit. I'm starting to see I will be able to play again.
I know he's excited. He's going to be the No. 1 option on the perimeter this year. Last year, he was sometimes the third option. He wants that extra pressure on himself, he wants to carry more of the load.
If there's something wrong or a chance something can go wrong, I'll hang 'em up. I'll think about that first hit (if he returns). My game is diving on the floor, setting screens, but if the doctors say it's OK, and they say the heart has healed, I'll play.
Nothing's for sure. I just want to find out if it's a situation that would make sense.
Hearing her say that it would be very tough for her to watch me while I was out there playing made the decision a little easier.
All of you are aware of the journey I've taken this past year and I just want to relay to all of the people that sent along their prayers and well wishes, my heartfelt thanks. It was truly overwhelming to me and my family the outpouring that we received from the Twin Cities community and from across the Midwest.
If your bigs rim run at full speed it not only increases the potential for a quick layup, but opens up court for guards
If guys are struggling with their role, I might be a guy that they can come talk to about that. I'm just going to try to do anything I can.
I change my mind several times a day.
