I've always tried to tell myself that the work itself is the thing, that win, lose, or draw, the work is really what counts.

And from the first time I picked up a basketball at age eight - I had a lot of difficulty when I first picked up a basketball, because I was a scrub - there were things that I liked about it.

I think that my God-given physical attributes, big hands, and big feet, the way that I'm built, proportion-wise, just made basketball the most inviting sport for me to play.

If you don't do what's best for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end.

To be great we need to win games we aren't supposed to win.

If you've experienced having control, you don't want to be moved to a subordinate position, if you have your druthers.

I wanted to undertake the challenge of daring to be great.
