"As I reflect upon my career,
the words dedication, perseverance, hard work, sacrifice, faith, unity, and love
come to mind; and you would think that I'm referring to myself through all these
years, but in actuality I am not. You see, for any champion to succeed, he must
have a team -- a very incredible, special team; people that he can depend on,
count on, and rely upon through everything -- the highs and lows, the wins and
losses, the victories and failures, and even the joys and heartaches that happen
both on and off the court."
"Even now as I am retired: the
goal, unity, sacrifice, and care for one another, faith and reliance upon the
Lord, and a love that constantly encourages and lifts one another up. And that
has stayed with me throughout my entire life and career."
