What I'm doing right now, I'm chasing perfection.
I focus on one thing and one thing only - that's trying to win as many championships as I can.
You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.
If there were camera phones back in the day, the biggest athletes in the world would have had a lot of explaining to do.
I'm chasing perfection.
Everyone looks at your watch and it represents who you are, your values and your personal style.
I'm reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose.
I wear the number 10 Jersey for the US National Team in honour of the Greatest athlete I have ever seen: Messi.
If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail.
This was a must win for us. We played well the entire trip, but it's just that we weren't able to close things out. Tonight was a win that we desperately needed.
We didn't execute. Tonight they stepped up their pressure.
This weekend is smooth for me. I'm looking forward to competing with these guys, getting out there on the floor and competing and trying to raise the game for all of us.
We want to go into the road trip playing with some momentum, playing with some kind of rhythm.
We just fell right in line with what we are supposed to do. Lamar is such a great facilitator, he takes a load off of my shoulders. I can just focus on putting the ball in the basket and he becomes the facilitator for our team.
