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.

I think in every lesson there's a blessing, and there's so many blessings from all the lessons I've had to go through in life.
I feel that each and every one of us as individuals has a responsibility to one another.

We're all connected in so many different ways.
I am reaching a point in my life where the basketball chapter in my life is slowly closing from a competition standpoint.
