The Best Players Will Play.

If You Tell A Teammate You're Ready To Play As Tough As You're Able To, You'd Better Go Out There And Do It.

Practice Habits Were Crucial To My Development In Basketball. I Didn't Play Against The Toughest Competition In High School, But One Reason I Was Able To Do Well In College Was That I Mastered The Fundamentals. You've Got To Have Them Down Before You Can Even Think About Playing.

Guys Like Larry Bird -- He Played So Hard, He Wants Everybody Else To Play Hard. That's Not Unreasonable. Any Coach Would Want That And Demand That.

I Don't Think That Once You Get To One Level, You Can Relax. You've Got To Keep Pushing.

I Have Always Been Confident In My Skills And Once The Game Got Going I Knew I Was Probably The Best Player On The Floor Most Of The Time Whether It Was Junior High, High School Or College. I Knew I Had Control Of The Game.
