I’ve never doubted my decision to retire, not once. I used to wonder how I would know when it was time to retire. Older guys would tell me that I’d just know, and that didn’t seem like much of an answer at the time—but they were right. I didn’t want my teammates to have the distraction of facing questions about my future after every single game, and to be honest I didn’t want to be asked about it thousands of times either, so I knew I had to reveal my decision before the start of the season. I spent a considerable amount of time on my letter that was posted on Facebook. There were just so many thoughts and thank-yous I wanted to convey and I wanted to get it right.
