Excellence Isn't A One-week Or One-year Ideal.

Even When I'm Old And Grey, I Won't Be Able To Play It, But I'll Still Love The Game.

If I Had Stood At The Free-throw Line And Thought About 10 Million People Watching Me On The Other Side Of The Camera Lens, I Couldn't Have Made Anything. So I Mentally Tried To Put Myself In A Familiar Place. I Thought About All Those Times I Shot Free Throws In Practice And Went Through The Same Motion, The Same Technique That I Had Used Thousands Of Times. You Forget About The Outcome. You Know You Are Doing The Right Things. So You Relax And Perform.

I Play To Win, Whether During Practice Or A Real Game. And I Will Not Let Anything Get In The Way Of Me And My Competitive Enthusiasm To Win.

But My Drive To Win Is So Great ... I Just Step Over That Line. ... It's Very Embarrassing, ... One Of The Things You Totally Regret. So You Look At Yourself In The Mirror And Say, 'i Was Stupid.'

A Leader Can't Make Excuses. There Has To Be Quality In Everything You Do. Off The Court, On The Court, In The Classroom.
