I think no athlete wants to end his career on an injury.

I could have been better. That's my goal now, to be better.

I went down and played with Magic Johnson at his all-star game in Atlanta. I remember Magic stopped the game and said, 'We need you here with us in L.A.'

I will never be able to move on as much as people would like me to.

I distanced myself, relatively, from my parents for a year or so in my late twenties. It was necessary for me to feel my autonomy. Other than that brief gap, we have always been a very close family.

My family fulfills me.

On both sides of my family, my grandparents grew up in total poverty and came to California during the Great Depression. The only way they were able to work their way out of that was by joining the military, which is how they both went on to be able to go to college.

Family is hugely important to me, because like I said, it takes a village to raise a child. That's my theme. That's how I really feel about life.
