5. Quotes
One of my favorite quote is “There is a lot of pressure
put on me, but I don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I
feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.
“Ask me to play. I'll play.
Ask me to shoot. I'll shoot.
Ask me to pass. I'll pass.
Ask me to steal, block out, sacrifice, lead, dominate.
ANYTHING.
But it's not what you ask of me.
It's what I ask of myself.”
