beautiful blessed people
When people say God blessed me with a beautiful jump shot, it really pisses me off. I tell those people, 'Don't undermine the work I've put in every day.' Not some days. Every day.
stronger taught pitfalls
Everything I know now . . . the pitfalls, the highs and lows, everything . . . it taught me and made stronger.
basketball get-better half
When you work on getting better at something, don't do it half speed
beautiful team blessed
I've argued this with a lot of people in my life. When people say God blessed me with a beautiful jump shot, it really pisses me off. I tell those people, 'Don't undermine the work I've put in every day.' Not some days. Every day. Ask anyone who has been on a team with me who shoots the most. Go back to Seattle and Milwaukee and ask them. The answer is me -- not because it's a competition, but because that's how I prepare.
steps step-up shots
I'm always ready to step up and take that shot.
letting-go character emotional
By practicing the virtues we cultivate the soil from which healthy emotions sprout; by letting go of our character defects we drain the swamp in which diseased emotions breed.
dream winning nba
I dream about winning a championship, where everybody is hooting and hollering for you. The whole world is drawn to the NBA Finals.
team thinking use
My nature is to keep things inside. In time, I'll be comfortable stepping up when I think the team could use my input.
firsts fluff sequels
Sequels to most movies are always fluff and not as good as the first,
athlete men culture
There is an entire culture out there built around siphoning money from an athlete, and the young men and women who come through just feed the machine.
team thinking talking
Right now, we're not a team. I think we're genuinely happy for each other when we're out there on the court. We've got to find new and different ways to support each other on the floor. The comfort zone that we've been in, we've got to change it a little bit. Everybody has onus on this team. It's easy for someone to say, 'I play only 10 minutes a game, so they're not talking about me.' But that 10 minutes is just as important.
basketball kids years
I tell the young kids, you have eight or nine months of the year to play basketball and the rest of the year you can relax. So, you've got to be ready. It doesn't last forever.
chinese chinese-music beats
It was Chinese music. I couldnt understand it, but it had a good beat to it.
team home player
What brought me back here was my players, ... I know who Rashard (Lewis) is. I know who Nick (Collison) and Luke are, and I don't know what those other guys (on other teams) bring to the table. This is where I've made home and I didn't want anything different and I didn't need anything different.
