I tell you what, man, it's been a long process. It's been a long time coming. I just can't wait to set foot back on that Phoenix logo.
Swag is something that I've had for a long time.
I've thought about (not coming back this season) more this week than I have. Every time I play hard, the next day there is a lot of pain and discomfort. If this was my left knee, I probably would have played (by now). But my right knee is hurting more than my left, and I didn't count on that.
I've had no shellfish and no pork for quite some time.

You've got to have the right attire for the right event. I attend a lot of dinners, a lot of concerts, and I have to be on the red carpet; each has its own dress code, and I have to be prepared. Jeans and a hoodie are great for a concert, but a dinner party?
On paper we might be the best team in the league. We’ve got great players on this team who accomplished so much. We just couldn’t put it together.
