Communication Quote by Larry Nance, Jr
“I had several conversations with my parents about potentially wanting to quit, saying, like: 'I think I might want to be done.' And they would always say, 'Hey, this not what you have to do. Whatever you feel like doing - go to school, get your degree, get your education and then after that if, you want to get away from basketball, do it.'”
