I've had tendinitis since college.

To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.

I just feel that my competitive drive is far greater than anyone else that I've met, and I think that I thrive on that.

I think school is very important and I personally had a great experience at North Carolina, which helped shape me as a basketball player and a person. Every once in a while, you will have a player who can make the jump and have an immediate impact on the professional level, but most of the players who come out would absolutely benefit from going to college.

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them

When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game.

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