Playing sport was somewhat frivolous, but I liked it. I rebelled a little bit, and wouldn't go to music lessons and things like that, but I would go and play ball. My parents learned to love it because they saw how much I got out of it.

A leader is someone who puts their people in position to be successful all the time

Always get back to your core principles.

Parents can really help, but they can also really hinder the development of their youngsters.

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.

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.

Confidence shared is better than confidence only in yourself.
