You have to do more than the coaches ask you, or you'll never be a great player in this league.
Great players never look in the mirror and think I'm a great basketball player. You ask yourself, Am I the best player I can be?
The more you're at Alabama, you grow as a person and as a player learning from great coaches and great men and just growing with your teammates.
You have to believe you're great. You have to have an air about you. My success wasn't because I was a great talent, but because I wanted it more than anybody else. Every minute I step on that field, I want to prove I'm the best player in the league.
I think that if a player wants to be at the very top, he needs to win the Champions League and league titles. That's what makes the great players truly great.
My coaching staff gets to go to the World Series. From a financial perspective that's great for coaches because baseball coaches in the Major League level don't really make that much money. People don't realize that.
I feel so fortunate to have great coaching. Coaches that have taught me great habits and taught me great things about basketball and life, but I've always played for coaches who have held me accountable and that's made me a better player and person.
Many tennis coaches are enablers. They need the job more than the player needs the coach, and if the coach needs the job more than the player needs the coach, he can't effect change.
I think there are much bigger differences between players in this league than between coaches. There is a big gap between LeBron James and the small forward for whoever. Far bigger than between two coaches.
I never look at myself as a black player. I think of myself as a hockey player that wants to be the best player in the league.
You ask any player and the Champions League is where he wants to be.
The player had almost as much fun as the parent and coaches. This league is well worth the time the professionals put into it. I would encourage any professional to host a team.
A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group - that's teamwork.
The performance of your position coaches is obviously more than just the actual statistics of how their players perform. There's insight from relationships you have around the league throughout all the different interactions that you have.
I think free agency changed the league more than the money. Teams had to build better facilities, coaches had to develop more personal relationships with the players and recruiting became such a big part of winning and losing.
I experienced the G League in two forms: one as an assignment player, and then one of actually being in the G League after I got cut by the Bulls. Obviously, both situations are different. You actually sort of still get treated like an NBA player when you're on assignment. When you're in G League on contract, you're down there for real.
It's a dream for any player, having the opportunity to play in the Premier League. Everybody knows it's the most competitive league in the world. It's really great to follow it, as you can't predict who is going to win the trophy.
