I'm chasing perfection.

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.

I'm playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition-that's what I've always wanted.

I've pretty much done all I can here and, you know, God will carry me the rest of the way, so I'm pretty comfortable with that.

If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail.

There's a much bigger world out there.
