All 14 guys on the team have sacrificed something to get to this point.

If you take time to realize what your dream is and what you really want in life, no matter what it is, whether it's sports or in other fields, you have to realize that there is always work to do, and you want to be the hardest working person in whatever you do, and you put yourself in a position to be successful. And you have to have a passion about what you do.

I can accomplish all those. It's really awkward, kind of, for me coming out here and being in a competitive golf atmosphere. I don't get to do it but once a year, except my, like, local tournaments back home in Oakland.

Basketball was mine, and that's what's carried me to this point.

I have much less confidence on the greens than I do on the court. Everybody asks like if putting is like shooting free throws. Like that six-footer for par or something like that. It has a very similar kind of mindset.

Success comes after you conquer your biggest obstacles and hurdles.

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