All I knew is that I NEVER wanted to be AVERAGE.

I'm a firm believer in goal setting. Step by step. I can't see any other way of accomplishing anything.

The players today reflect how much the game has evolved and changed both in style and culture. [...] The game now has a wider appeal to a larger market.

I make shoes for white suburban kids, not the poor black kids. That would be like opening a restaurant for people without stomachs.

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

Sometimes I wonder what it will be like to look back on all this. Whether it will seem real.

So, the next time you're out working on your game and they pass you the rock, don't just take it to the hole. Take it to the next level. Don't just bend rims. Bend expectations. Let them see you and feel you and by the very virtue of your love, the truth in your game, they will hear you. Let your game speak.
