I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me.

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.

When I was young, I never wanted to leave the court until I got things exactly correct. My dream was to become a pro.

There are many times when you are better off practicing than playing; but most people just don't understand that

I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

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.

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.
