I remember my hands used to be stinging in pain, just from trying to catch the ball. I used to stand like 15, 20 yards away, and that junk used to hurt so much.

The hamstring is a difficult injury just because it lingers and it comes back from time to time if you don't put the right treatment into it.
Working on your ball skills every single day - taking that little bit of time to help hand-eye coordination definitely goes a long way.
Irv Smith, I spend a lot of time with him. He's from Louisiana just like me so we spend a lot of time together and connect well together. We can relate to each other, being from the same area and then being drafted to a wholly different environment.
If I pass the ball to Karl Malone, he still has to make the shot, or nothing has happened.
When I get the ball with my back to goal, I like to be in touching contact. I need to feel the guy. He will try to take the ball, and I will go past him.
Mentally I was retired, and physically I was retired. I was playing recreational ball. But when the decision happened with Chris Bosh and LeBron, I felt like I could really be good in that system.
I don't want to go to the offensive coordinator and try to demand the ball.
I like to be in contact with the ball, have possession, to play.
