I've always put great emphasis on the academics and getting your degree. It's important because basketball is short term. The long term is what are you gonna do after college and after you no longer can bounce the ball.

It's harder to stay on top than it is to make the climb, Continue to seek new goals.

Discipline helps you finish a job, and finishing is what separates excellent work from average work.

Success is all a matter of perspective. It depends on where you start from, and where you want to end up.

With attitude, you can determine your own performance.

I think basketball has changed tremendously and for the better. I think that obviously the game is better. I think the skill of the players are better, the strength, the overall athleticism, the teamwork involved. I think coaching is better. We have more exposure for our game than ever. You know, our sport has grown significantly in really the last five years. It's pretty amazing.

You can't pick and choose the days that you feel like being responsible. It's not something that disappears when you're tired.
