If you put 100 people on an island with no food, no water, no hope of a ship coming, then some will overcome it and be resourceful, some will live in it, others will panic, and others will show horrific character, which is wrong. But not to understand that all alternatives are possible is wrong as well.

The Rockets have a philosophy of what they think their coach should be.

One thing is a pro is supposed to make certain plays, while a college player is learning to make plays.

I've played more park games than NBA games, and I had a 10-year NBA career.

In my position, I've always admired Claude Makelele. I grew up watching him play. I was able to play against him in the final stages of his career. I have always liked his way of playing football, and given my position and style, he's been a mirror to compare myself against.

Football is great because you always have another opportunity to change history.

Away from football, it is just family. I try to spend time with my kids - I have to spend a lot of time away, so every time I am at home, I like to spend time with them.

I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember.
