You can't win if you don't play as a unit.

I think someone should explain to the child that it's OK to make mistakes. That's how we learn. When we compete, we make mistakes.

Michael Jordan and Magic and myself all learned how to play the game in college programs that emphasized the team.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

As my career has progressed, I've had the pleasure of playing with the baddest jazz cats on the planet. But that doesn't change my desire to entertain folks. That's really who I am.

I don't really have time to watch too much, but I like 'Family Guy' and 'Entourage.' I'm also obsessed with the YouTube series 'Balls of Steel.' It's hilarious.
