“Once it gets down to single-digit games, you know the season’s end is approaching, and we’re all pretty physically tired.”

I wasn’t going to shy away from getting married when I did and having a baby young and starting a family, even with the job that I chose.

If you can’t move and talk to people that you see, it’s not really my scene.

There are so many things we have to overcome in this life with Jesus, His work on the cross. He’s paid the ultimate price for us, so I’m proud to be a child of God.

I’m not in the business of ranking or debating who is what.

I’ve always believed that success for anyone is all about drive, dedication, and desire, but for me, it’s also been about confidence and faith.

There’s a reason that I have confidence out there, and it’s about how I prepare for games and for series and seasons and whatnot, so we’ve got to stick with that kind of thought process.

I think about the milestones from my childhood and what it will be like to watch our kids go through them. Taking Riley to her first day of school was a whirlwind. I can’t imagine what middle school is going to be like, and high school, and graduation.

The way I try to represent my family and coaches, I think all are characteristics the league aspires to portray. That’s just who I am.

Some of the stuff I do on the court is what most people think they can do.

Water is my drink.

You know, I’m trying to chase rings, and that’s all I’m about. So that’s where the conversation stops for me.

I have allergies, and I’ve had my share of nosebleeds, but that’s usually related to pollen.

Most home teams have chapels, so when I’m on the road I’ll probably go to their services.

Drinking water is essential to a healthy lifestyle.

I have certain guys who I looked up to. Jordan, Kobe, those guys. Passing that on to doing my part to kind of keep that influence of basketball where it should be is kind of why I play the game.

I can’t jump the highest. I’m obviously not the biggest, not the strongest.

Approach each new problem not with a view of finding what you hope will be there, but to get the truth.

I approach the end of my own long run believing more strongly than ever that the quality of journalism and the quality of democracy are inextricably joined … .

I didn’t have any witticisms to land on suburbia. I was really just interested in how beautiful it was. I felt it was like a dreamscape and once I understood that was how I needed to approach it the dream started to expand in unusual ways.

The human soul is to God, is as the flower to the sun; it opens at its approach, and shuts when it withdraws.

We have not known a single person who has consistently or lastingly make money by thus “following the market”. We do not hesitate to declare this approach is as fallacious as it is popular.

The biggest factor between winning and losing is the mental approach.

Film and television essentially feel the same when you’re doing it, because it’s the same technical approach.

The time is now for us to make our brain the number one priority so that education and awareness can take effect, and begin to change the way we approach the health of our athletes from youth to professionals.
