Sometimes I wonder what it will be like to look back on all this. Whether it will seem real.

If I have an agenda or a goal, no one is going to deter me from what I want to do.

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 realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.

The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I'm out there, no one can bother me.

The greatest people that ever lived were also the greatest failures. They just didn’t let those failures affect them like they do most.
