  • Cameron Indoor Stadium is a special place in sports and there's really nothing else out there quite like it. Anytime I'm inside Cameron, I've got memories. Cameron is like Yankee Stadium or the old Boston Garden.

  • There's a wealth of information and knowledge you can gain from sitting down with people who are successful.

  • 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.

  • I was on the board at my children's school in Phoenix: I was Mr. Daddy Daycare.

  • I think the world of Dave Griffin. I worked with him in Phoenix, got to know him very well, and consider him a friend.

  • 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.

  • My teammates at Duke - all of them, black and white - were a band of brothers who came together to play at the highest level for the best coach in basketball.

  • My favorite memory is, as a freshman, going to Carolina and beating them. Going over there and winning on their court. I think that was the only time I did win on their court.

  • 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.

  • I've done a lot of basketball drills, not a whole lot of competitive stuff. I have basically been in the gym everyday working on my game, working on the time off that I've had from the game, just getting myself prepared mentally and physically for the season.

  • Obviously, drafts sometimes are good ones, or bad ones; I think you can get a good, quality player late in the lottery.

  • The accomplishments in college and even in the pros are more in my mind because you constantly see Duke on TV during basketball season. You constantly see the NBA.

  • I like to think of myself as a pretty good athlete, I don't think I'm a great sprinter, but 200, 400, maybe 800. I won't say excel in them, but I'd do pretty good.

  • I want to do the best I can and let everyone else worry about legacies.

  • 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.

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

  • 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 expect us to be good; very good. I expect us to first and foremost be better than we were last year and get back to having this franchise as one of the premier franchises on and off the court, and I think we have the opportunity to do that this upcoming season. I really believe that.

  • 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.
