Hi Steve! I am a proud Canadian college student living in BC.
I am a childhood bone cancer survivor. Eversince I got surgeries done on my legs, I abandoned even an idea of playing any sports. However watching you play in NBA inspired me and also fall in love with basketball. I watched the first round playoff game vs Lakers. Back then of course I didnt even know what the heck NBA was and who is Kobe or anything. I just remember that you and Marion stood out because you had a long hair and the name Marion reminded me of super Mario. I started out playing little by little and was able to rehab thru playing basketball. Of course I was really bad but just being able to shoot ball into hoop was a huge accompishment to me and it meant a lot for me. There were times where other basketball players would make fun of me or tease me for my lack of skill or sometimes threatens me to dont play the basketball by intentionally giving hard fouls but seeing how you played in NBA with such injuries allowed me to endure all these hardships and stil enjoy the basketball. But of couese I tried best to avoid playing with rough guys to prevent injury. I also admire your work ethics.
My Qs is this: How were you able to success in NBA where there are lots of rough guys and people with athletisim? Why do you think that you were able to actually do better after you got older? (Phoneix vs your times in Dallas)
Are you planning on having the long hair again? =)
