I have definitely gone through my ups and downs and faced my adversity and my nay-sayers, but managed to do all right. It is a pretty classic tale.
You should be able to voice your opinion and respect the voice of the other side. You should be willing to educate yourself and know what it is you're dealing with.
I think it's important that people stand up for what they believe in. It's important that people discuss things.
It seems like my whole life I've been this little Canadian kid dreaming somebody would give me a chance.
The pick and roll is more about bodies and eyes then speed and being fast
I'm playing; I'm here. I'm going to fight until they tell me they don't want me anymore.
You should always want your coach to be critical. It gives you an opportunity to learn and to overcome adversity
I know the strengths and weaknesses of my teammates. I make my passing decisions accordingly
Play because it's fun, and not to become a pro. If your goal is to become pro, the best way to realize that is by loving what you do.
You can't worry about things you have no control over.
Having a goal in your mind helps you manifest it in some way.
The NBA has the best point guards in the world, so it is important that I come ready to play every night.
I don't care what other people say. I fight every day to be the best player I can.
Sometimes I'm very impatient. I also feel the need to please everyone, which is unnecessary and impossible.
