I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.
I started playing baseball and soccer. Those were my sports on the streets and in school when I was growing up. I didn’t even start playing basketball until I was 14.
My dad is the reason I actually started watching wrestling. My dad was never big into sports we were all big into sports as kids, and he’d go to our Little League games or whatever and not really know what was going on, because he didn’t know about sports, but he knew about wrestling.
I love sports, as all Bostonians seem to. I love books and movies, as all writers seem to.
I’m not really interested in sports psychology. It makes me feel like a crazy person.
I’d just like to be good at sports. I’m extremely competitive with absolutely nothing to back it up.
Sports isn’t just a part of life. It’s not life itself.
It was actually drumming that gave me the stamina to get into sports later.
I had spindly little ankles, and growing up in Canada, I couldn’t skate. I was no good at any sports so was very much a pariah through those adolescent years.
Sports and entertainment have always been windows of opportunity for African Americans, when other doors were closed.
