The thing with NBA teams, a lot of times they just want to get you back on the floor to play, so as a player you've got to be very, very smart.
I wasn't going to play on defense in college.
The opportunity to play for Duke University is great, and that's the reason I chose the school.
I could have played water polo in high school instead of football. I would have gone to Stanford like my other buddies from Irvine who played water polo and ended up going to Stanford, you know.
I had to decide whether I should try to play pro football after high school or try to pursue my powerlifting career.
The only regret I can have is that Inter sold a player that is now completely recovered. I said many times that I wouldn't have left Inter without showing who I was. But then they sold me.
I went to trials at Northants academy and got in. It was a crossroads between cricket and football.
So, yeah, Dad was right. Tennis was the way to go.
