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

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.

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.

The best players will play. That's the way it will always be.

If there was a payment to the bank due, and we needed shoes, she'd get the shoes, and then deal with them guys at the bank. I don't mean she wouldn't pay the bank, but the children always came first.

I have always been confident in my skills and once the game got going I knew I was probably the best player on the floor most of the time whether it was junior high, high school or college. I knew I had control of the game.

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.
