I can guard guys my size and bigger, because, typically, I’m stronger than them, but sometimes guys get by me on the wing. It’s not as big a deal because I can recover pretty well and I’ll block their shot at the rim, but I hate when guys go past me on the wing. I hate that.

My lone concussion occurred in 2003 against Denver. I was spinning off block and right when I spun, I hit Clinton Portis with my head turned sideways. I hit him and I hit the ground. That was first big one where I was like ‘Whoa.’ Back then, it was no big deal.
