You'd be surprised at how many times I'd hit the ball, and the hair would go straight into my eyes. That's why, even when I play indoors, I wear a visor, because it stops that, and I'll apply a lot of gel and hairspray to keep it tight.
You can dribble on carpet. I grew up in Queens, and we had carpet in our living room. And actually, even in some of these gymnasiums where we're playing the game, we're on carpet. If you're 12 or 13 years old, you've dribbled on the carpet in your mom's house.
I actually like indoor track and field more than outdoor.
I didn't play in indoor gyms until I was 12... Hitting the floor on concrete - it ain't easy bouncing up from that. It makes you tougher.
If I had the space, I would build a full indoor basketball/volleyball court and home gym.
I still love doing that. There's nothing like being able to go back and play volleyball again with a team cause, I can have my volleyball in my New York apartment but we can't do so much there.
I find outdoors easier than indoors, but I am more interested in indoor athletics. I prefer it because it is hotter indoors, and I like the shorter laps.
I have a small and decent indoor cricket facility at home itself.
I like playing inside. I just love the physicalness of being in the box with the bigger guys. That's just something that's part of my game.
Ajwa and Asmara are the youngest and love to play dress-up. They have my permission to play any sport, as long as they're indoors. Cricket? No, not for my girls.
It'sthe fate of most Ping-Pong tables in home basements eventually to serve the ends of other, more desperate games.
