I always know what's happening on the court. I see a situation occur, and I respond.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.
