Don't let them drag you down by rumors just go with what you believe in.

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

When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game.

I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and that's everybody's wish... I try to be a role model for black kids, white kids, yellow kids, green kids. This is what I felt was good about my personality.

A coach is someone that sees beyond your limits and guides you to greatness!

My father used to say that it's never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, 'You never know what you can accomplish until you try.'

If I had stood at the free-throw line and thought about 10 million people watching me on the other side of the camera lens, I couldn't have made anything. So I mentally tried to put myself in a familiar place. I thought about all those times I shot free throws in practice and went through the same motion, the same technique that I had used thousands of times. You forget about the outcome. You know you are doing the right things. So you relax and perform.
