It's not about the number of hours you practice, it's about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice

You're my backbone. You're a blessing. You're a piece of my heart. You're the air I breathe. And you're the strongest person I know, and I'm so sorry for having to put you through this and having to put our family through this.

I realize now that there's a strength in dunking that I can use to my advantage. When you dunk all the time it isn't as demoralizing to the opponent, but when you dunk at a key moment in the game you can use it to change the momentum.

The important thing is that your teammates have to know you're pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.

The people who truly know me know what I'm like. There have been people who try to say things that aren't fair, and I check them. And then they don't like me because I checked them.

I'm not the most patient of people...

It's hard for me to grasp the concept of somebody being nervous when I'm talking to them.
