We have a great father-daughter relationship. So we always had that bond, shooting hoops. That was always the best time. I could tell him anything. She had that family bond, but she struggled with her schoolmates due to her size.
Kids are very cruel.
I was called everything from Moose to Too Tall to other things. It would have been real easy for me to want to get into drugs to be cool, to fit in. But basketball was my drug. It was something where my height was looked at as a positive instead of a negative. And I started to like my height because of basketball.
