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

The first professional game that I ever played remains, to me, the most exciting moment of my professional career.

The biggest thing that I felt basketball could do for me was help me get a good education.

Being a professional is doing the things you love to do, on the days you don't feel like doing them.

When I get a chance to power jump off both legs, I can lean, twist, change directions and decide whether to dunk the ball or pass it to an open man. In other words, I may be committed to the air, but I still have some control over it.

I think I was chosen by basketball, although I never really physically got drafted to any team that I played for.

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