Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates

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

I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win.

I've never lost a game I just ran out of time.

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 minute you get away from fundamentals – whether its proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation – the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you’re doing.

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.
