I wasn't real quick, and I wasn't real strong. Some guys will just take off and it's like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.

I've been around a while. I kinda know these things.

Basketball was always a game to me. One of the greatest things in life for me was to be able to play what I loved dearly and get paid for it. So it was always a game to me and that's how I perceived everything.

Don't let winning make you soft. Don't let losing make you quit. Don't let your teammates down in any situation.

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 think you have to work very hard and dedicate yourself and have the respect of your teammates before you're about to go out and just try to take a game over by yourself.

Coaches can talk and talk and talk about something, but if you get it on tape and show it to them, it is so much more effective.
