Quotations on Character

Kids put life into perspective. I never have a bad day.

I love going home and seeing the smiles on my daughters’ faces being happy to see me, and that makes everything all right.

About God and Faith

I know I have a place in Heaven waiting for me because of Him, and that’s something no earthly prize or trophy could ever top.
Jesus is everything to me.
I can’t say enough how important my faith is to how I play the game and who I am.
It represents a Bible verse I wear on my shoe. Philippians 4:13. It says, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’ It’s also my mantra, how I get up for games and why I play the way I do.
I do a little sign on the court every time I make a shot or a good pass, and I pound my chest and point to the sky – it symbolizes that I have a heart for God. It’s something that my mom and I came up with in college, and I do it every time I step on the floor as a reminder of who I’m playing for.
It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have… All you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do, what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to succeed at whatever you put your mind to.

About Basketball

I love playing basketball; there’s no doubt about it. It’s something I’ve been doing since — what, mom and dad, two? With Fisher-Price goals. My grandma’s here; we were talking about it yesterday.

I really cherish everything that basketball brings, and I think for me, it’s been a great ride, and I’m not done yet.
Every step of the way, I think you learn something that makes you a better player, and all those lessons really come out when it matters the most in a championship.

Basketball Sayings
When it comes to basketball, I was always the smallest kid on my team. I had a terrible, ugly catapult shot from the time I was 14 because I wasn’t strong enough to shoot over my head, and I had to reconstruct that over the summer, and it was the worst three months of my life. You’d think there are no hurdles or obstacles that I had to overcome, but even when I got to high school, I wasn’t ranked.
Being a superstar means you’ve reached your potential, and I don’t think I’ve reached my potential as a basketball player and as a leader yet.

In a game, there are so many different variables that are thrown at you – the defense, where your teammates are, how fast your body’s moving, and you have to be in control of all those decisions.
