The more time you spend with somebody, the more your relationship grows.

Are you going to back down to somebody? If not, you're giving yourself a chance.

You learn from adversity more than anything because it allows you to see so much. It really allows you to see things in a different way.

Four-men aren't used to picking up guys pushing the ball in transition. Let alone, somebody getting the rebound and just busting.

I was a great help-side defender in college, but as far as really wanting to lock somebody up, that was never really my focus.

One thing I've always been taught at the defensive end is you hit first. In life, you throw the first punch; you don't get punched first. It's the same on defense: You've got to hit first. Do your work early. That's what I was always taught. If you don't do your work early, you're done.
