My attitude going into training camp as a rookie was to impress. I wanted to impress my teammates, my coaches, the owners, everybody. I wanted them to say, ?This kid is special. This kid has the right mind, the right skills, the right motivation?.

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

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

I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot... when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.

It doesn't matter if you win as long as you give everything in your heart

Any fear is an illusion. You think something is standing in your way, but nothing is really there. What is there is an opportunity to do your best and gain some success.
