Robert Covington: I'm more and more like happier with where I'm going, cuz this most likely will be my last year. Like this most likely will be my last year playing basketball cuz I'm mentally preparing for that aspect. Because I am older. You know how we get pushed out when we're older. I just been out for two years. Everybody labeled me as, "Oh, he been hurt X, Y, and Z." Bro, I have not been hurt. Cuz if I was hurt, I wouldn't have played in Team USA in November of 2024. It's the political side. So there's stuff that's going on behind the doors that just like I said, it's part of the controlling what you can control and literally like not affect because when I think about the situations like prior to where I am now, I get pissed off. I get pissed off because that's it. It put me in understanding of where we are literally what this actually is and what this is as a business.
