I think in college they give you a chance to really mature, form yourself and build relationships. I think thatâ€™s what a team is all about, and when you build relationships, it shows on the court and that brings out success. I love the whole attitude of staying in college to take advantage of a free education. I just felt like Kentucky wasnâ€™t a fit for me. The whole attitude and approach of the one-and-dones, thatâ€™s good for them, thatâ€™s their decision. But I think [Duke] Coach [Mike Krzyzewski] is a guru of basketball. I want to learn from one of the best.

Basketball is my favorite sport, and I'm also a very passionate football fan.
Your defense will save you on the nights that your offense isn't working.
If they don't let me coach, they might as well take me to the Lexington cemetery.
I believe that good defense embodies seven cardinal principle: reduce the number of your opponent's shots; force your opponent into low percentage shots; control everything within 18 feet; eliminate second shots; no easy baskets; point the ball on all long shots; and prevent the ball from going into the pivot man.
When a guy takes off his coat, he's not going to fight. When a guy takes off his wristwatch, watch out!
I know who I am. I don't have to brag. I know what I contributed. I know what I did. You think you can do it better? Hey, go right ahead. The stage is yours.
I never regret anything I do. It's part of who I am now, and I like who I am now.
I don't know who I am or who I was. I know it less than ever. I do and I don't identify myself with myself. Everything is totally contradictory, but maybe I have remained exactly as I was as a small boy of twelve.
I found power in accepting the truth of who I am. It may not be a truth that others can accept, but I cannot live any other way. How would it be to live a lie every minute of your life.
People have a preconceived notion about who I am and it's interesting. It's like picking who you want to win for the Oscars and not seeing the movie. Before you make a statement about someone, get all the information and see everything before you make a judgment.
