“Avoid cynical and negative people like the plague. They are killers of potential…” — Rick Pitino

I care what people think, but it doesn't change my opinion of how to do things.

Basketball has consumed me since the age of 7 or 8. I don't know what I would do without it.

I try not to get too low. I fight adversity as hard as I can fight it, not to get too low. When good things happen, I don't really embrace it. I just say it's a lucky day.

If I had one regret in life... it's that I was not more humble at an earlier age.
