I am proud of my family. I am proud of my Duke championships and all my Duke teammates. And, I am proud I never lost a game against the Fab Five.

Yelling doesn't get your point across, it only makes it louder.

People don't realize the amount of stress you put on your body both physically and mentally from just the wear and tear of a season.

I tried to make a point of doing things outside the box, of not having basketball consume me.

I've done a lot of basketball drills, not a whole lot of competitive stuff. I have basically been in the gym everyday working on my game, working on the time off that I've had from the game, just getting myself prepared mentally and physically for the season.

I know most of the black players who preceded and followed me at Duke. They all contribute to our tradition of excellence on the court.

I expect us to be good; very good. I expect us to first and foremost be better than we were last year and get back to having this franchise as one of the premier franchises on and off the court, and I think we have the opportunity to do that this upcoming season. I really believe that.
