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.

The accomplishments in college and even in the pros are more in my mind because you constantly see Duke on TV during basketball season. You constantly see the NBA.

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.

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.

Parents, they're strict on you when you're little, and you don't understand why. But as you get older, you understand and you appreciate it.

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