Akron, Ohio, is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio, is my life.

With that locker room I could sleep there after games.

In fourth grade, I missed 82 days of school. Out of 160.

When I got back from the war in 1946 people didn't want the Mr. Smith kind of movie any more, and I refused to make war pictures.

I make impact plays. I make game-changing plays.

Basketball isn't easy. All my life I've been striving to make myself better. It's a full time commitment. To be the best, you have to work the hardest. You have to chase what seems impossible over and over and over again, because giving up is not an option, and when you feel like you've reached your limit, it's only the beginning, that's when the time to dig deep, to find the courage to push some more, because if you've got the drive, the discipline, and the resolve to do what it takes to make yourself great, then the rewards are endless.

I'm confident with my ability.
