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

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

As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day.

To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.

Each time I step on the basketball court, I never know what will happen. I live for the moment. I play for the moment.

A leader can't make excuses. There has to be quality in everything you do. Off the court, on the court, in the classroom.
