If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.

Suddenly all is quiet. The other nine players? They're all moving in slow motion! I'm at normal speed! I know where everyone's going even before they know themselves. The basket is huge, maybe six feet across! How can I miss? It's like throwing a rock into a pond.

Don't be like me. Be better than me. That's the goal.

I viewed it as a business, but I always viewed it as a game. An opportunity to show my skills, my basketball skills, amongst the best in the world.

I never thought a role model should be negative.

If nobody will help you do it alone!
