I Am Competing With What I Am

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. Every Once In A While, You Will Have A Player Who Can Make The Jump And Have An Immediate Impact On The Professional Level, But Most Of The Players Who Come Out Would Absolutely Benefit From Going To College.

My Advice Is Find Fuel In Failure. Sometimes Failure Gets You Closer To Where You Want To Be.

Great Players Never Look In The Mirror And Think I'm A Great Basketball Player. You Ask Yourself, Am I The Best Player I Can Be?

Look Me In The Eye. It’s Ok If You’re Scared. So Am I. But We Are Scared For Different Reasons. I Am Scared Of What I Won’t Become. And You Are Scared Of What I Could Become. Look At Me. I Won’t Let Myself End Where I Started. I Won’t Let Myself Finish Where I Began. I Know What Is Within Me, Even If You Can’t See It Yet. Look Me In The Eyes. I Have Something More Important Than Courage. I Have Patience. I Will Become What I Know I Am.

In College I Never Realized The Opportunities Available To A Pro Athlete. I've Been Given The Chance To Meet All Kinds Of People, To Travel And Expand My Financial Capabilities, To Get Ideas And Learn About Life, To Create A World Apart From Basketball.
