Meadowlark Lemon's book Trust Your Next Shot is written by a remarkable person. I have had the pleasure of knowing Meadowlark for quite some time. He has given back to his community quite generously in addition to serving as an outstanding role model for young people. Meadowlark's career has allowed him to touch people's lives everywhere and I am so proud to be his friend. God has certainly touched his life.

I told Zollie Volchok we needed an ultrasound machine and he asked me why we needed music in the locker room.

If you can't go through it, find a way around it. Don't spend all your time banging your head against it.

I worry about the things I can affect, and the things I have no control over I move by.
