My role models in the business were the older guys on my team when I first got there: Gray Scott, Adrian Smith, Roland Taylor. These were the guys who took me under their wing, and really schooled me in terms of what the business was about.

You know, we always tried to rationalize by saying you take the good, you take the upside, you got to deal with the downside, you've to take the downside.

I keep both eyes on my man. The basket hasn't moved on me yet.

I firmly believe that respect is a lot more important, and a lot greater, than popularity.

I live my life trying to never appear to be a small man.

And I continued to grow until I was 25 years old.

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