I missed 9000 shots in my career, lost almost 300 games and missed the shot to win the game 26 times.

I know what I would do if I were coach. I'd determine our strengths and weaknesses and utilize them. And it's pretty clear what our strength is.

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.

I do not have a problem, I enjoy gambling, but I think people are trying to make it seem like I have a problem, because people really don't know.

Isn't (life) all about trying?

It is nerve-wracking watching my kids' games.
