I think a lot of blue collar people related to me because a lot of people work for their money.

My coach told me, "Larry, no matter how much you work at it, there's always someone out there who's working just a little harder - if you take 150 practice shots, he's taking 200." And that drove me.

It's been a journey, the NBA. It's taken me a lot farther than I ever expected.

While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, he who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its course.

You never make any of the shots you never take. 87% of the ones you do take, you'll miss too. I make 110% of my shots.

My goal was just to try and be the best player on my high school team, and look where I am now. And that was still my goal as a young kid, just to try and be a little better than my brother was.
