As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don’t know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be.

I don’t have to hear that criticism, that idotic criticism anymore.

If there were camera phones back in the day, the biggest athletes in the world would have had a lot of explaining to do.

I don’t set out to make a really hot shoe, I set out to make a product that is true to where I am.

If you’re afraid to fail, then you’re probably going to fail.
