I wanted to compete at the highest level again - and that's the NBA.

A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

Don't let winning make you soft. Don't let losing make you quit. Don't let your teammates down in any situation.

I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

I learned what my weaknesses were and I went out the next day to turn those weaknesses intro strengths.

I am an advocate of honesty and openness, and I think deceit is a dangerous seed to plant and let grow in relationships.

I think I asphyxiated my children.

I believe from what I can see there is a good chance the shift will happen in humanity before it is too late.

What is life but playing with time?
