I had a lot of growing up to do. A lot of times, I learned the hard way.

One of the things you have to learn is that you don't have to have the ball all the time to be effective.

I never took the game for granted as far as not having to work on what I needed to do to accomplish all of the things that I wanted to accomplish.

If I don't believe it, then they don't need me on the court. I've just got to believe that in my heart.

Everything comes back around. You never thought Louis Vuitton and Gucci and all that other stuff would come back. You know what I mean? And now it's one of the highest brands there is out. Everything just comes right back into circulation. Baggy jeans might come back out again. Might be a while, but they might.

I thought we'd be discussing about me not leaving Philadelphia and they just kept asking me about the practice, so I lost it.

Mistakes happen. But after a while you've got to stop making them happen twice.
