I've seen a lot in my life. I've seen a lot of winning. I've seen a lot of testing times. I think when you're tested, you really find out what you're made of.
The only thing I care about is winning. That's all. If you don't want to win, you don't want to be around me.
When time is running out and the score is close, most players are thinking, I don't want to be the one to lose the game, but I'm thinking, What do I have to do to win?
The passion to win games, the incredible, focused energy and also the camaraderie of the team were all things that I really loved.
I enjoy winning, but more importantly I enjoy the people I'm around.
You can't imagine how much good luck is involved in winning, but all of a sudden, you get in a situation where every break goes your way, every call goes your way, every ball that rolls around drops in instead of out. It feels magical.
You can't ever totally know what's inside of someone else, or see the kind of will someone like Magic has. You have to rely on your instincts to find people who hate losing and know how to win.
I was disappointed if I didn't have a chance to win a game, and if I had the chance and didn't do it.
As you get older, every chance to win a championship is more crucial, because you are going to have less and less of them.
