Yes. I consider myself – it's actually a question that I get all the time and people are – They're always a little bit weird about that question. They're like, oh, yeah, how are you enjoying retirement?

Yes. I consider myself – it's actually a question that I get all the time and people are – They're always a little bit weird about that question. They're like, oh, yeah, how are you enjoying retirement?

Like, oh, your fame died. See, because that was not what it was for me. I looked at it as like, this is awesome. This is like a whole new life that I have never experienced.

Yeah, I mean, I played basketball my whole life. I don't know when I was good, but it became very, very serious for me. Yeah, like eighth, ninth grade. But I'm saying you get a lot of status from it.

uh but like it came in increments for me so there was never a moment where you're like okay this is a little this that was a that was a very big jump that was hard to deal with they're not like hard to deal with i just i do remember uh my rookie year we played against the knicks and i had like two or three dunks that were they kind of went like viral back when twitter was you know young

And I remember that was kind of like a time where I was like, wow, it's never really slowed down since then. And it just went to the moon. But like I said, I was sort of prepared for it. I'd been prepared for it since my ninth grade year, when you start to get a little bit of that. And you learn how to handle it at each level.
