You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.

Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.

I play to win, whether during practice or a real game.

I'd take 12 guys who had a strong passion for the game over 12 guys who don't respect the game.

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

I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . . . Failure always made me try harder next time.
