I believe greatness is an evolutionary process that changes and evolves era to era.

Focus like a laser, not a flashlight

Other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my life than Coach Smith. He was more than a coach – he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father. Coach was always there for me whenever I needed him and I loved him for it. In teaching me the game of basketball, he taught me about life. My heart goes out to Linnea and their kids. We've lost a great man who had an incredible impact on his players, his staff and the entire UNC family.

My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.

I can't speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.
