The party's just getting started. This is where the fun starts.

I love going one-on-one with someone. That's what I do. I've never lost. It's a whole different game, just to have them right in front of you and be able to do whatever you want.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they've taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

My brain . . . it cannot process failure. It will not process failure. Because if I sit there and have to face myself and tell myself, 'You're a failure' . . . I think that's almost worse than death.

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.

Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.

I don't set out to make a really hot shoe, I set out to make a product that is true to where I am.
