I'm feeling great. I'm feeling fantastic. I'm alive, ... I'm working out every day. I'm just doing everything I can to be on the basketball court, so I'm doing good.
chance college hope stay
He should go pro; I hope he does. There's nothing else he has to do right now in college. He's done everything he could. He has a chance to be a top-five pick; why stay in college? I don't know, it's his decision.
cracked toughest
It was hell, the toughest thing in my life. My rib was cracked open, I could not play basketball; I could not do anything by myself for months.

My expectation is to practice hard. I'm back to being a freshman in college. I'll make those guys' life a little bit tough in practice. I want to go out there and do the dirty work.

But I am confident and determined to show everyone that a player can come back from a heart operation. I will play basketball again.

He's awesome. First and foremost, he's a great person and a great teammate. He's very supportive when I get down on myself. (All of our veterans) have been successful professionals for a long time. I tell you, even if you had success in college, you have to listen to them.
caring helped
To see them caring so much about what I was going through, that's what helped keep me going.
burn energy
Why not? I have energy. I'm not going to play a 48-minute game. So I've got to expend some energy and burn some calories.
