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

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

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.

The great thing about sports is you constantly have to prove yourself. You constantly have to go out there and do it, day in and day out.

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.

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'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.
