Whether you're a veteran like me or a high school athlete, the most important thing you can do is keep your body healthy.

If you can take pride in what you're doing on defense, it's going to be pretty hard for that offensive opponent to go by you or make a shot over you.

To be one of the special ones, you've got to want to take that shot-you've also got to be willing to fail, learn from it, come back and take that shot again.

I've won at every level.

My idol, Gary Payton, played 19 years. I definitely want to try to reach that.

You've got to love the game and the game will love you back.

I dedicated myself to the game and never disrespected it.
