In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people, to travel and expand my financial capabilities, to get ideas and learn about life, to create a world apart from basketball.

You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that.

Don't be like me. Be better than me. That's the goal.

I am privileged to have played basketball.

It doesn't matter if you win as long as you give everything in your heart

I can never stop working hard. Each day I feel that I have to improve. Hardwork...Determination...I gotta keep pushing myself.

It doesn't matter if you fall down, it's whether you get back up.
