Think very carefully about what you want in life. Reckon with the risks.

I'd rather be a non-All-Star playing in the Western Conference finals than an All-Star who's sitting at home in May.

Each game is an opportunity to be on a great stage and be a witness for Christ. When I step on the floor, people should know who I represent, who I believe in.

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

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.

I prepare to the point where instinct take over.
