I Am Privileged To Have Played Basketball.

I Think School Is Very Important And I Personally Had A Great Experience At North Carolina, Which Helped Shape Me As A Basketball Player And A Person.

Talent Wins Games, But Teamwork And Intelligence Win Championships.

Be True To The Game, Because The Game Will Be True To You. If You Try To Shortcut The Game, Then The Game Will Shortcut You. If You Put Forth The Effort, Good Things Will Be Bestowed Upon You. That's Truly About The Game, And In Some Ways That's About Life Too.
