In a game, there are so many different variables that are thrown at you - the defense, where your teammates are, how fast your body's moving, and you have to be in control of all those decisions.

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 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.

We just forced them into tough shots that whole overtime. It was a classic five minutes that we needed.

The best shooters shoot the exact same way every single time they look at the basket.

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

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