I know what's within me even if you can't see it yet...I have something more important than courage, I have patience. I will become what I know I am.

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.

The best evaluation I can make of a player is to look in his eyes and see how scared they are.

I've had tendinitis since college.

I have failed many times, and that's why I am a success.

I am free to make anything I want as long as I think it will sell.

There are no shortcuts. I approached practices the same way I approached games. You can't turn it on and off like a faucet. I couldn't dog it during practice and then, when I needed that extra push late in the game, expect it to be there. Very few people get anywhere by taking shortcuts.
