A Loss Is Not A Failure Until

The Game Of Basketball Has Been Everything To Me. My Place Of Refuge, Place I've Always Gone Where I Needed Comfort And Peace. It's Been The Site Of Intense Pain And The Most Intense Feelings Of Joy And Satisfaction. It's A Relationship That Has Evolved Over Time, Given Me The Greatest Respect And Love For The Game.

I Truly Love The Game; I Wouldn't Be Playing If I Didn't Love The Game. I'm Not Getting Paid Astronomical Dollars; It's Truly For The Love Of The Game Of Basketball.

Being Nervous Isn't Bad. It Just Means Something Important Is Happening.

If You Pass The Ball To Bill Cartwright, You'll Never Get The Ball From Me.

I Would Never Play An Extra Year For Money. I Play The Game Because I Love It. I Just So Happen To Get Paid. If I Don't Feel I Still Enjoy The Game, I Can Care Less What A Year Is Worth. I'm Not Going To Play The Game Just Because Of Money.
