You have to be willing to fail, because you're not going to make every shot.

I'm very respectful of others.

I try and do the right things most of the time and let the chips fall where they may.

When you have 20,000 people yelling and screaming at you, four other guys can concentrate on the floor. So every time I touch the basketball and everyone is yelling and chanting and doing things towards me, well, four other guys can concentrate.

A lot of people wish they could be in the house with the greatest of anything. I just so happened to live across the hall from absolutely, positively the greatest women's basketball player ever.

I made a lot of big threes throughout my career, but it was the 3-point shot that allowed me to maneuver inside the paint, post-up, mid-range game and so forth.

I don't know if it's a small-market thing or not, but we never get the benefit-of-the-doubt calls like New York, L.A., Miami and the big market teams. That's just the way it is.

Whether it's the best player or the 12th man next to the Gatorade cooler, understanding the personalities on your team is key.

I think the character of a man is to establish something where no one else has ever done before.
