Everybody wants to take responsibility when you win, but when you fail, all these fingers are pointing.

The other thing I knew I had was a high level of competitiveness.

I've tried to handle winning well, so that maybe we'll win again, but I've also tried to handle failure well. If those serve as good examples for teachers and kids, then I hope that would be a contribution I have made to sport. Not just basketball, but to sport.

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.

My mom gave me unconditional support and unfailing love. You can't get any better than that. That's why I've never been afraid to lose.

Friendships, along with love, make life worth living.

Therefore, as a player, as a coach, even though we might have lost in a season or not won a championship, it was like a self-fulfilling prophecy that I'm going to win some time. I've never felt myself a loser.
