I'm just blessed that I was able to have guys around me that had some of the same goals. The man above gave me a gift and he gave me friends and a mentor that can help me reach my goal and reach my potential. And we all had the same goal, so it wasn't hard for us to get, you know, off track because we all wanted the same thing.

I'm not afraid of nothing, I just like the challenge, and I love being here.

You learn from mistakes, you learn from losses, but this game doesn't put something on me where it's, 'Hey, I've finally done it. This was a big game. We won it and we have to move on.'

I never thought basketball was going to be my future. I just wanted to play because it gets you girls.

I like to get out and get up the court, using my speed and aggressiveness toward the hoop.

I have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than one, and I take that very seriously.

A lot of players know how to play the game, but they really don't know how to play the game, if you know what I mean. They can put the ball in the hoop, but I see things before they even happen. You know how a guy can make his team so much better? That's one thing I learned from watching Jordan.
