Learning is the first step in making positive changes within yourself. Other factors are conviction, determination, action & effort.

It's always a tough process when you're always the best guy on your team, in high school, in middle school, AAU and things like that.

I think when I came into the league, I had to find something that would keep me around. I knew I wasn't going to get the ball a lot, being the younger guy on my team.

I don't believe in getting lucky, I never have - luck is actually being ready to take advantage of an opportunity when it arises because you have the skill set you need and the drive and determination to do it.
A rebounder, or a shot-blocker for that matter, is always at a disadvantage if he tells himself the only way he can succeed is by out jumping the guy next to him. Sometimes he will have to, but most of the time he will not. Most of my rebounds came from positioning, where I was able to get the ball while in heavy traffic.
