Teamwork doesn't come naturally. It must be taught.
I don't give out compliments easily.
By doing things when you are too tired, by pushing yourself farther than you thought you could - like running the track after a two-hour practice - you become a competitor. Each time you go beyond your perceived limit, you become mentally stronger.
Discipline yourself, so no one else has to.
You have to make shots. That's the bottom line.
In order to grow, you must accept new responsibilities, no matter how uncertain you may feel or how unprepared you are to deal with them.
