We're just one cog in this giant machine. You show up and look at all the other cogs like, "Wow, everyone is the best at what they do." You're in really good hands.

At the end of the day, you're only going to be allowed to play basketball for a short period of time. You're a human other than that for the rest of your life. So it's safe to say that basketball doesn't define me. It's just a sport that I was blessed to play.
