I Never Thought Basketball Was Going To

You Know, I'm Just 6'9" And 260. And Just So Happen To Be Very Good At Playing The Game Of Basketball.

I've Always Been Skeptical Of People Who Say They Lose Themselves In A Part. Someone Once Came Up To Spencer Tracy And Asked, "aren't You Tired Of Always Playing Tracy?"

The Modern Athlete Is An Individual Corporation. I'm Not Quite Sure It's Very Good For Sport, Or Good For Team Work, Or Those Different Things That Sport Says It's About. This Is About Business.

Basketball Isn't Easy. All My Life I've Been Striving To Make Myself Better. It's A Full Time Commitment. To Be The Best, You Have To Work The Hardest. You Have To Chase What Seems Impossible Over And Over And Over Again, Because Giving Up Is Not An Option, And When You Feel Like You've Reached Your Limit, It's Only The Beginning, That's When The Time To Dig Deep, To Find The Courage To Push Some More, Because If You've Got The Drive, The Discipline, And The Resolve To Do What It Takes To Make Yourself Great, Then The Rewards Are Endless.

In Northeast Ohio, Nothing Is Given. Everything Is Earned. You Work For What You Have.
