picks
You either have to be great or you have to be bad to get a good pick.
jobs father home
My father is my idol, so I always did everything like him. He used to work two jobs and still come home happy every night.
basketball difficult seasons
It all started when I got injured early in my second season. This turned out to be as difficult emotionally as physically.
inspiring basketball people
When you are honest and open with young people, they let you in.
basketball real people
Young people want you to be real with them.
perseverance hard-work player
Even when I went to the playground, I never picked the best players. I picked guys with less talent, but who were willing to work hard and had the desire to be great.
greatness ideas people
Research your idea. See if there's a demand. A lot of people have great ideas, but they don't know if there's a need for it. You also have to research your competition.
opportunity vision matter
I was able to see what I wanted to do, I could see the opportunity, even when others could not, and I stay committed to doing it and doing it well, no matter what.
basketball talking people
You know I was a shy guy and people didn't know that and still don't know it today. I'm sure basketball brought my shyness out because of the fact that you have to do interviews, and that people are always talking to you in terms of the fans and everything.
basketball men keys
My diet is mostly chicken and fish. I make sure I get a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit. I am a big fruit man, I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That's the key I may be up early, but I'm in bed early too.
talking nba people
I met wonderful people playing in the NBA. Whether it is the officials, the scorekeepers, all the people who work for the NBA, not just for the Lakers, but I'm talking about just for the league itself.
inspiring basketball father
I was around when my father finished the last payment of his house. I remember like it was yesterday. He had worked all those years to own that house and he cried. He was so excited and so happy and I want to see other people get that feeling, too.
