I always tried to make clear that basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live. There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere.

You are not a failure until you start blaming others for your mistakes

Well, your greatest joy definitely comes from doing something for another, especially when it was done with no thought of something in return.

Having the courage to make decisions and take action. Never be afraid to fail. You have nothing to fear if you have prepared to the best of your ability.

As long as you try your best, you are never a failure. That is, unless you blame others.

Many ... have tremendous God-given gifts, but they don't focus on the development of those gifts. Who are these individuals? You've never heard of them- and you never will .

A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group - that's teamwork.
