Enjoy every minute of life. Never second-guess life.

Once I made a decision, I never thought about it again.

If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.

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

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.

I would never play an extra year for money. I play the game because I love it. I just so happen to get paid. If I don't feel I still enjoy the game, I can care less what a year is worth. I'm not going to play the game just because of money.

Be optimistic about everything in life.
