I'm really lucky to have the kind of people I've got around me. I've got such a great group of predominantly young people, but so diverse, and they bring different perspectives to the table. They will tell me exactly what's on their mind.
This game in a lot of ways, isn't that complex. You bring energy to the table and you've got a chance. You bring fundamentals to the table and you've got a chance. It's not always about scheme and all that magic-behind-the-curtain stuff.
A lot of people don't have much food on their table. But they got a lot of forks 'n knives. And they got to cut somethin'.
Oh cat, I'd say, or pray: be-ootiful cat! Delicious cat! Exquisite cat! Satiny cat! Cat like a soft owl, cat with paws like moths, jewelled cat, miraculous cat! Cat, cat, cat, cat.
I see a vision of a great rucksack revolution thousands or even millions of young Americans wandering around with rucksacks, going up to mountains to pray, making children laugh and old men glad, making young girls happy and old girls happier, all of 'em Zen Lunatics who go about writing poems that happen to appear in their heads for no reason and also by being kind and also by strange unexpected acts keep giving visions of eternal freedom to everybody and to all living creatures.
When I'm sitting around watching a game with some friends, and we're all excited, and Jordan is driving in, we might say, 'Come on Mike, break me off a little somethin'-somethin'.' I decided to take that and translate it into what I do on 'SportsCenter.' Just add statistics.
I was taught when there's somethin' you can change around keep quiet, you got nothin' to complain about.
The good thing about most of the girls that I've met on the road is that, regardless of whether they're cute or not, man - they can bring it onstage, which is inspiring not just for young girls and young people in general but for myself because then it makes me want to step it up.
If you've got a cat and a leg, you've got a happy cat. If you've got a cat and two legs, you've got a party.
What was old can be brought back new, and I bring that to the table. I bring mannerisms, facials, body language, positioning.
It's so important for young girls see that it's not weird for girls to understand what happens in the red zone. It's not rocket science. For a lot of the girls that I grew up around, that's common knowledge.
I want young girls that I mentor and young girls all around the world who want to be a model to be able to see that there's a great deal of sacrifice.
If I had killed somebody, it wouldn't have had so much appeal to the press, you see? But f-ing, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to f- young girls. Juries want to f- young girls. Everyone wants to f- young girls!
At the end of the day, there's always going to be younger, prettier girls but I know what I bring to the table.
Wow, I did so much for young black girls and girls around the world.
My attitude is, if someone sees a little somethin' somethin', don't look if you don't like it.
