If you want someone to be your mentor, you better be ready to listen and be humbled.

I only know how to play two ways: reckless and abandon.

Talent is never enough. With few exceptions the best players are the hardest workers.

Once Michael gets up there he says, 'Well, maybe I'll just hang up here in the air for a while, just sit back.' Then all of a sudden, he says, 'Well, maybe I'll 360. No I changed my mind. I'll go up on the other side.' He's just incredible.

I want to be here for a long time, so I am going to do everything I have to do to be here.

If somebody says no to you, or if you get cut, Michael Jordan was cut his first year, but he came back and he was the best ever. That is what you have to have. The attitude that I'm going to show everybody, I'm going to work hard to get better and better.

I grew up poor, but I didn't have poor dreams
