Being nervous isn't bad. It just means something important is happening.

Winners don't just learn the fundamentals, they master them. You have to monitor your fundamentals constantly because the only thing that changes will be your attention to them.

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.

My best skill was that I was coachable. I was a sponge and aggressive to learn.

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

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

There was never any fear for me, no fear of failure. If I miss a shot, so what?
