Every step of the way I think you learn something that makes you a better player, and all those lessons really come out when it matters the most in a championship.

Basketball isn't just a sport. It is an art, one that must be mastered to succeed.

I'm pretty much on the "eat whatever you can diet," just to get calories in, so I can maintain myself throughout the season.

I'm a golf junkie. I watch every tournament pretty much. I watch interviews. I watch warm-up routines. All that stuff.

I'm not the guy who's afraid of failure. I like to take risks, take the big shot and all that.

Doesn't matter where you come from, what you have or don't have... All you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.

I try to use every game as an opportunity to witness. I try to do a little signal every time I make a shot as a way to preach the message in little ways that I can.
