Regardless of the obstacles or hurdles that are ahead of you, regardless of the opponent, regardless of the odds, your goal and objective always is to win. I think that's part of sports.

The great thing about sports is you constantly have to prove yourself. You constantly have to go out there and do it, day in and day out.

Parents, they're strict on you when you're little, and you don't understand why. But as you get older, you understand and you appreciate it.

Yelling doesn't get your point across, it only makes it louder.

I know most of the black players who preceded and followed me at Duke. They all contribute to our tradition of excellence on the court.

People don't realize the amount of stress you put on your body both physically and mentally from just the wear and tear of a season.

I tried to make a point of doing things outside the box, of not having basketball consume me.

I am proud of my family. I am proud of my Duke championships and all my Duke teammates. And, I am proud I never lost a game against the Fab Five.

Up until age 40, most men are just not as mature as women. So, it makes sense that a lot of women date up in age a bit.

Anyone who dares to lay hands on the highest image of the Lord commits sacrilege against the benevolent creator of this miracle and contributes to the expulsion from paradise.

The way to win the race is not to trip somebody else. Simply have more energy. You will not only have a greater chance of winning; but whether you win or lose, you'll be happy.

Winning as a team is better than anything. It's great to share success.

Those who know are wise. Those who know themselves are enlightened.

You have to be daring and make something that doesn't look like anybody else.

Live, be, move, rejoice -- you are alive!
