I won't have any competitive instincts in any sports, other than golf. I can't see being competitive in sports any more.

I knew where I wanted to go, what kind of player I wanted to become and I focused on getting there.

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.

I want to wake up every day and do whatever comes in my mind, and not feel pressure or obligations to do anything else in my life.

Any fear is an illusion. You think something is standing in your way, but nothing is really there. What is there is an opportunity to do your best and gain some success.

My fellow Wilmington, North Carolina native Meadowlark Lemon is a true national treasure. I watched him play for the Harlem Globetrotters when I was growing up and his skill with the basketball and dedication to the game were an inspiration not only to me, but to kids all around the world.

I was aware of my success, but I never stopped trying to get better.
