re: Ryan Anderson Interview

''Every day is a challenge,'' he said Monday, on the eve of the first practice of training camp. ''It helps to be here. My family's with me. To be here with my teammates really helps a lot, but it's a roller coaster.''

...''Something like that just doesn't happen for no reason and I know that for 100 percent,'' Ryan said, his voice cracking as a tear dripped off his left cheek. ''I know that there's a huge plan here. ... I know that a lot of people are going to be helped through this.''

''This is a topic that is not talked about enough and it is a huge problem,'' Anderson continued. ''Let's be honest here. We live in a society now where you've got to live up to something, you've got to be a certain person and you're not (always) going to be accepted. Every single person has something special about them. That's what I want to be my goal here.''

I've felt with as positive and religious as Ryan was that if it didn't crush him he'd find a way to turn it into a positive, and that's what it looks like he's doing. Hopefully he can stay strong
