I think I'll always want to improve my defense. That's something that can always be better. Not saying it's bad now, just something you should always work on.

It [boxing] helps my hand-eye coordination, my stamina, my footwork, and it gives me that competitive edge and drive. And in the ring it's mano-a-mano. So it helps you build that arrogance, that cockiness, that confidence in yourself that the man that stands in front of you isn't going to beat you, and that translates to the court.

People tend to grow fearful, when they taste failure, face a daunting challenge or fall ill. Yet, that is precisely the time to become even bolder. Those who are victors at heart are the greatest of all champions!!!!

You've got to have fun on the court. If you ain't having fun, then basketball ain't fun.

I wanted to make the lightest shoe possible, but still be able to perform at the same time.

I say 'come with it.' I'm not expecting anything easy. You have to earn your place. That's fine with me.

I'm a classical type of guy. Whatever's out at that point in time, I like it. I just put my own twist on it, and we go from there.
