It is very dangerous to have your self-worth riding on your results as an athlete.

You can look directly at the NFL and see how successful they've become because they have central control, central voice, and it doesn't mean that the owners don't have a say, but the commissioner runs it, and he's the one who speaks for them when they go out and do commercial deals.

Sports for me is when a guy walks off the court, and you really can't tell whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way.

What I've seen historically is winning is a major aloe. It solves a lot of problems.

It's really easy to find your friends when you're playing away. You have a close-knit group with you and everyone else is cheering hard for their side. There's more satisfaction coming away with a road victory.

If you don't want to practice, unless you have a hard-nosed coach, you don't have to.

In America, we love to give people second chances too - as long as you admit you were wrong and come back and do it the right way.
