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.

Sometimes, things may not go your way, but the effort should be there every single night.

If I thought of the number of people who were watching me as I got ready to shoot, I?d miss it.

Excellence isn't a one-week or one-year ideal. It's a constant.

I know what I would do if I were coach. I'd determine our strengths and weaknesses and utilize them. And it's pretty clear what our strength is.

Every time I feel tired while I am exercising and training, I close my eyes to see that picture, to see that list with my name. This usually motivates me to work again.

If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working on it.
