When I was a rookie, Judy Seto was a young up-and-comer. One?time, after I tweaked an ankle, she was assigned to me. It?immediately became apparent to me that she was as obsessive about?training as I was about basketball, and we formed an immediate and?unbreakable bond. Over the years, we both continued to learn and?grow in our individual crafts. In doing so, we were able to push?each other to be our best.

It’s safe to say I would not have been able to play as well or as long?without her as my physical therapist. She helped me recover from?every single surgery I ever had, and she was always there for me.

Literally. Whether it was a family vacation to Italy or a Nike trip to?China, Judy came with me. She was that indispensable.

In my later years, her table would always be full and players would?be waiting. When I came in the room, though, I’d jokingly question?what they were doing there and claim my spot at her table. Sorry,?guys.
