I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court.

I can do something else besides stuff a ball through a hoop. My biggest resource is my mind.

The first time I shot the hook, I was in fourth grade, and I was about five feet eight inches tall. I put the ball up and felt totally at ease with the shot. I was completely confident it would go in and I've been shooting it ever since.

One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.

You have to be able to center yourself, to let all of your emotions go... Don't ever forget that you play with your soul as well as your body.

You can't win if you don't play as a unit.
