There's more to life than basketball. The most important thing is your family and taking care of each other and loving each other no matter what.

I got good grades but no particular comment stands out in my memory, I'm afraid. I was one of those annoying and rather boring model pupils.

I really cherish everything that basketball brings; and I think, for me, it's been a great ride and I'm not done yet.

What goes through my head when I'm going to take a game-winning shot is ... I better make it. Don't be afraid of the moment.

Physically I feel pretty good; that's the main key, is just making sure your body is ready to play every night since you play so many games and I feel like I'm there.

I prepare to the point where instinct take over.

I remember back when I was 10 and my dad was telling me: Hey, I'm going on a trip this week to play out in Lake Tahoe. I didn't really know where Lake Tahoe was going back, living back in North Carolina.
