I want to be the bridge to the next generation.

Great players never look in the mirror and think I'm a great basketball player. You ask yourself, Am I the best player I can be?

If it turns out that my best wasn't good enough, at least I won't look back and say that I was afraid to try; failure makes me work even harder.

Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I will not quit this game because of what the media has done to me.

Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.

Suddenly all is quiet. The other nine players? They're all moving in slow motion! I'm at normal speed! I know where everyone's going even before they know themselves. The basket is huge, maybe six feet across! How can I miss? It's like throwing a rock into a pond.
