Greatness is a lot of small things done well. Day after day, workout after workout, obedience after obedience, day after day.

Regardless of how well you can be offensively, if you have a great defense, you can deal with any offense.

Bottom line, your body is a temple, and you have to treat it that way. That's how God designed it.

Some people take certain things and they try to forget what that pain felt like. I don't. I take that same pain and I chase it every time I walk in a weight room.

You take five fingers. Individually, I can pin any one of them, but if I pin them together (makes a fist), it's damn near impossible to turn this around.

Wins and losses come a dime a dozen. But effort? Nobody can judge effort. Effort is between you and you. Effort ain't got nothing to do with nobody else.

The more you know about your opponents, the more you learn how to beat them. Where the holes open to run through, blocking schemes, even down to player tendencies and what hand they like to carry the ball with.
