"It's just part of the nature of the sport. If you have force, it's got to go somewhere. If it's not my lower back, it's going to be in the hip, it's going to be—you know I have had four knee operations. It's got to go somewhere. We're not immune to having the forces go somewhere. Eventually on a repetitive sport, you're going to wear out something."
