I'm a firm believer in goal setting. Step by step. I can't see any other way of accomplishing anything.

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.

Basketball isn't my job.

I truly love the game; I wouldn't be playing if I didn't love the game. I'm not getting paid astronomical dollars; it's truly for the love of the game of basketball.

You have to be able to say, OK, that happened back then. Now let's take it from here and see what happens. It would be very easy to hate people for the rest of your life, and some people have done that. You've got to deal with what's happening now and try to make things better.

I want to be the bridge to the next generation.

Winning isn't always championships.
