Quotes
-
[My advice to younger players in the NBA, is] that every day when you walk through those doors, there are two things that no-one can ever question about you, [namely] you character and you work ethic. Always be a great teammate, always be a great person and always continue to work your tail off. I can assure you those two things will help you have a long NBA career.
