Drugs have been in the game for a long time. They were there when I was in college, and even in high school. It's in life. It's in business. It's everywhere.

I viewed it as a business, but I always viewed it as a game. An opportunity to show my skills, my basketball skills, amongst the best in the world.

I failed so therefore I succeed.

It's a habit of mine now, noticing labels, logos, shoes.

I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.

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.

The greatest people that ever lived were also the greatest failures. They just didn’t let those failures affect them like they do most.
