I don't talk trash often, but when I do, I go for the jugular.

These young guys are playing checkers. I'm out there playing chess.

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.

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

You want a CEO that understands they need to build a team around them that's sharper and smarter than they are.

When you have empathy toward your opponents, it helps you destroy them quicker. Because you understand exactly who they are. You understand what buttons to push. You understand if they're insecure, if they fear embarrassment. And you can really hit those buttons to strike a nerve.

I enjoy playing at the heart of it is just a kid who really loves playing the game of basketball.
