We'll have fun and celebrate. A lot of the guys are still trying to get over the fact of me being out, not being able to play. But I told them, 'You all are going to be hearing the same out of me.'" However, Ware wasn't shy about his aspirations, which echo a lot of the Twitter talk that surrounded his injury. "I just want to win at this point," Ware said in the interview with ESPN.

"I should of blocked that shot tho. Lol," he joked later.

In spite of all his positivity, Ware says he will never look at video of his injury.

"That's just one of those things I'll never want to see," Ware said. "Like when you're a kid and you've got that scary movie that you never want to see. That's just going to be like one of those nightmares I never want to face.

"It happened, and it's in the past, but I've seen the picture. But honestly I don't want to see it. There wouldn't be anything in me -- you couldn't pay me all the money in the world to see it."

If you have the time, clear 15 minutes out of your day and watch the interview above. Seriously.
