"I had a great coach there that helped me a lot. And I had great teammates who also helped me out a lot because there were a lot of veterans and I was like the youngest person, so it was a fun experience. I traveled the world, we won a lot of games, won the championship, I got to play in the All-Star game, I won Rookie of the Year -- so it was a blessing."
