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.

I hate to lose more than I like to win.

I don't think that once you get to one level, you can relax. You've got to keep pushing.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

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

You know when I played, you had me and Kevin (McHale) and some others throughout the league. I think it's good for a fan base because as we all know the majority of the fans are white America. And if you just had a couple of white guys in there, you might get them a little excited.
