But it is a black man's game, and it will be forever.

If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it.

When I go to the line I'm thinking 'All net.' When I don't think that, I'm likely to miss.

You can make all the excuses you want, but if you're not mentally tough and you're not prepared to play every night, you're not going to win.

I learned what my weaknesses were and I went out the next day to turn those weaknesses intro strengths.

Before every game I used to go out and shot the same shots over and over and over. In the summer time I spent a lot of time just shooting. So really it just came natural. Whether it's a tie game or down by 1 or up by five, it was always the same shot. So I always felt comfortable with the ball in my hands because it was in there a million times before.

It makes me sick when I see a guy just stare at a loose ball and watch it go out of bounds.
