Once I Get The Ball,

I Just Feel That My Competitive Drive Is Far Greater Than Anyone Else That I've Met, And I Think That I Thrive On That.

I Realize That I'm Black, But I Like To Be Viewed As A Person, And That's Everybody's Wish... I Try To Be A Role Model For Black Kids, White Kids, Yellow Kids, Green Kids. This Is What I Felt Was Good About My Personality.

It's A Habit Of Mine Now, Noticing Labels, Logos, Shoes.

It's Heavy Duty To Try To Do Everything And Please Everybody . . . My Job Was To Go Out There And Play The Game Of Basketball As Best I Can, ... People May Not Agree With That . . . I Can't Live With What Everyone's Impression Of What I Should Or What I Shouldn't Do.

I Can Accept Failure, Everyone Fails At Something. But I Can't Accept Not Trying.
