00:29It would be the same offseason of disappointment and unfulfillment.

00:33How many more years will we see you play?

00:35I don't know. I don't have an answer to that.

00:39It's something I sit down with my family, my wife, and my support group

00:46I walk into the practice facility and walk into this arena with high energy all the time,

00:53you know, and I just try to spill that to my teammates.

00:56I try to spill the belief into my teammates,

01:00play as hard as I can, do whatever I can out on the floor
