We were never really out of it during the entire game. But then we'd cut the lead down to two or three points, and we'd commit a turnover. We just made some mental mistakes at critical times.

We didn't do a good job of getting back on defense. (Kinston) would get the rebound, then they'd fly down the court for dunks. Their lead just kept getting bigger and bigger.

I was wide open and I felt like I had to make it and that I was going to make it if I shot it.

They just shot the ball well. We had a hand in their face, but they just kept making outside shots.

My father had the bug. Ever since I can remember walking, he was waking me up at 5 in the morning to go to flea markets. As a kid, I couldn't really stand it, but as I grew up, I became that guy, and when I have kids, I am going to be doing the same thing.

Mindfulness has helped me succeed in almost every dimension of my life. By stopping regularly to look inward and become aware of my mental state, I stay connected to the source of my actions and thoughts and can guide them with considerably more intention.
