I don't want to be in my meetings all sore or be at my son's graduation all sore just because of something I did in the past. (I'm) just learning and being smart.
All I got to do is keep getting the most out of each one of my days and keep trying to be the best athlete I can become.
I just don't want to get caught up in the hype.
I couldn't worry about anyone else but myself and my health.
I think good things come to good people.
All the days that you wake up you have one job and that's to get better, every single day.
I wanna be great. I'm going to be great. There's no doubt about it.
I love playing basketball because you could be having a rough day in your life, and while you're on the court it gives you a clear mind. I'm not worried about anything. I'm there just playing freely and I go out there all and I have fun.
Whatever your goal is: dedicate yourself to it and it's going to be a lot of sacrifice, but if you love what you want to do, it shouldn't be a problem.
You've got one job, and that is to get better.
Hard work isn't enough. You got to believe
As long as I have my faith in God, I'm good. I know everything else is going to come.
I still have goals. Seeing those doubters out there, it's gonna be funny seeing them eat their words.
I will say, just being here, God is good, man...
