“I Own the guy guarding me”

“The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I'm out there, no one can bother me...”

“Every time I feel tired while I am exercising and training, I close my eyes to see that picture, to see that list with my name. This usually motivates me to work again.”

“My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.”

“I failed so therefore I succeed. ”

“If I had been playing for money I would have complained a long time ago that I was underpaid.”

“I can appect failure, but I cannot accept not trying.”
