  2. “Absolutely. And that's what I like to call it pillars of getting through things. The pillars of success, that's kind of like my work in Title IV. You know, this perseverance, mental preparation, rising to the occasion, teamwork is a huge of them. Everything that's happened, I always saw it in my mind's eye first and did hours and hours and hours of imagining. And, you know, then it's time to put in the work after that. And you can't just sit there and dream about it. You just got to go out there and do it. And, you know, be calculated. Of course, you just can't go out there with no goal and just run around like a chicken with your head cut off. But you can't identify that goal and then work backwards and say, okay, what do I need to do and work hard at those things?”

  3. “Oh man, I just love starting a discussion. I think that's what the future is really going to be about. So I want this book to be a discussion and really, you know, all books and just be as civilized discussion where we can see where each other's coming from. Because I think nowadays, you know, things get polarized and kind of either taken out of context or being too much. I want everyone to know how important this book is to me. With that said, we want to start the conversation of how to be great, breaking those things down how to constantly get over those challenges like I keep alluding to that are coming and to have those open discussions and just continue to push the boundaries in a positive, great way. But let everybody know they can do it. If they have that thing. Do it. Don't wait, and you can do it.”

  4. “And it's not necessarily the case if you want to be successful. So that's like always kind of a thing that always took very importantly and took the heart if you're going after a championship or legacy or greatness or something like that and you're part of a team. The team has to come before the person and what's best for the team might not be best for your ego sometimes. And you have to be okay with that. And you got to tell your ego, take the back seat. Let yourself take the back seat. We're going to be champions, man.”

  5. “You know, you're going to have to learn how to coexist within this structure, being the third peg on the stool. Nothing wrong with that, but fighting that notion that that actually means something, putting the team before yourself and making those tough decisions that you have to make because it doesn't feel good, but the team gets it done. So, hey, Chris, you need to play the center, guard these bigger dudes because you're the only one that can do it, rebound the ball, and get it to these guys. Like, no, no, no, no. I want to score. You know, you give me the ball. No, no, Spo, you must have it wrong. You get me the ball and everybody else get out the way. That's how we did it.”

  6. “I think that's a huge, huge important thing that we definitely, definitely talk about because going to Miami, playing with the best two players in the world. So my ego had to take a back seat. I came in thinking I was going to be the number one scorer. The league. Definitely in Miami only because I said, man, they can score, but I can score two and they're going to be making plays for me. That was in my head, but the math doesn't work.”

Of course, mental preparation, self-motivation, getting yourself ready and going, but teamwork, working with others, learning how to coexist with people going after that goal.”

  9. “We had to overcome obstacles writing the book That was a good one, man. It was such a tremendous process. And I think a lot of people were really, really able to take something for themselves, no matter what they do. They'll be able to take something for themselves because it's been a team effort through and through. It's been one of those things to where I'm talking about people that I admire and situations that I admire for my own life that was like, oh, yeah, in the moment you're just doing it, but then reflecting on it, it's like, oh, yeah, that conversation that I had with my coach back when I was 21, that was set off these.”

The process is the process. You go through, you know, and we've been hands-on from the jump. This has been so special to me. But it's like I was joking the other day. You said in writing about a book overcoming obstacles.”

  11. “Out of this rut, or how do we find that next thing to do? For me, music and writing, I would have looked at you like you had eight heads five, six years ago. Music maybe five years ago. Not so much writing. I always did them, but just thinking of that, I wouldn't have even come close at that time. But going through challenges and situations, you want to come out better, right?

  12. “After a while, it's not going to change. These habits that you're building, you got to think about the habits that you're building. And I tell people too, be conscious of what you're consuming, especially nowadays. I tell my kids that. I try to, you know, even for myself, you know, just with everything you can consume, it's a lot of BS. So just be aware of what you're putting into your mind, what you're thinking about. And yeah, birds like a feather, right? If you find yourself complaining and people, SAP, you can have pity party, but after a while, they're going to get tired of you complaining.

I don't need the, like I say, that leader to come by and say, no, Chris, let me tell you something and kick the door in and just get me going. That right there was kind of like, oh, man, I felt bad. You know, for even having not weakness, not points of weakness, but just like having those thoughts and just saying, what do people say when if you think you've got problems where everybody put their problems on the table, you'll pick yours back up real quick. Never heard.”

  15. “I stopped complaining. I knew I was complaining, but I heard myself. I heard my language. Sometimes you got to listen to yourself. And this was me after me promising myself that I wouldn't complain after I came from Africa. I went to Africa. We went to Joe Burg. We went out to Climptown and Soweto and solved real poverty. Went to India, speaking of being the NBA Global Ambassador. We went to places and we have seen real poverty, you know, that make the projects look like a five-star hotel. And so When I saw those things and you take in all that stuff, it's like, man, it's heavy. What have I been complaining about? I haven't been complaining. Oh man, I've been complaining a little bit. When she said that, I instantly stopped feeling sorry for myself and said, okay. At the end of the day”

  16. “You know, it's just not going to just open up for you and say, okay, Chris, great. Yeah, this is what you wanted. Why did you ask? It's not like that. You've got to be consistent, be diligent, and just know that the challenge is going to come. And when these things arise again, I'm not going to feel sorry for myself. We're going to win this game. Even when it gets hard, and then we're going to do it again and again and again and again. And just, you know, get to that point.”

And I assume if someone's listening to this now, even if they're in a place where they don't want to be and frustrated with it, it's a daily grind, but it's not going to happen tomorrow. You got to make that decision, start focusing, start visualizing, and start working toward that goal and know just because you had this moment of thought and say, okay, I'm going for it. The C's aren't going to part.”

  18. “They have a chance to win the game. They're in the game. One bad thing will happen and they just, oh, the body language, the shoulders start slouching. People start, no, no, no, keep playing. Yay, okay. You know, there's a couple things that hurt or it's a couple things that hell. It sucks. Let's get that out the way. It sucks right now, but we're not going to know pity parties. You know, that becomes being old very fast. And you do see success. That's not going to take away the challenges. You know, you're still going to be, you're still going to be faced with challenges daily. But if you get into the mindset to where you say, okay, hey, problem solution. Look in the mirror. What am I going to do right now? Because I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself because it's so easy, right? You could just.”

  19. “But like, we always used to say, hey, look, nobody's coming through that door. If you're waiting on that perfect person or that perfect Utopian moment to come is not. You got to start putting work in now. Pick yourself up. Self-motivation, right? Yeah. You got to get yourself going. And then you'd be surprised. Things start happening. But you can't sit in the bed feeling sorry for yourself. That's like one of the toughest things to do. Sorry with all these basketball analogies. Five game losing streak.

  20. “So that kind of made me realize like, okay, put everything to the side. This person just told me that it is really our choice, not necessarily that bad things won't happen or life won't throw curveballs or things happen or you won't be in a rut. It's just that when you're in this rut, it's on you to get out of it and to actually have confidence. Now, people can help you, but one of the things that we always said in basketball If you were like on a shitty team one of the worst experiences to have because, you know, you're losing and then you're feeling bad inside, but then you're making money and it's good money. And people are like, oh, you're fine, which it's like this paradox.”

  23. “That opened up a new world of possibility to me. And, you know, I started making more friends, making great connections. Music is one of those things that really do bring people together. And it's a live element to it. It's a recorded element to it. It's just all these different elements that you could put together or keep separate and just really enjoy it. And so then I found myself, you know, okay, playing the guitar. Then I wanted to make beats. Then it just went out to full-fledged productions and writing sessions and stuff like that.

And then I found myself, my wife and I, we were already avid music lovers and stuff like that. We cranked it up a notch. We went to rock festivals, went to Coach Hella, Glastonbury, Bonnero, going to see certain shows, meeting all of these cool musicians and just doing something different. And I mean, it was just, it was amazing. And I started getting magical feelings and those things that magic that you want to pursue. It didn't make any sense at the time. I just knew it felt good.

  27. “First game that I watched guy dislocates his ankle. And I mean, whatever motivation that I had instantly went away. And I said, oh man, that could be mean. Boy, those workouts just weren't as intense after that. In the midst of figuring these things out, I can't remember what I read, but it was pretty much trusting everything that I read. And all of these books that say find what you love to do. You gotta love it. And it sounds great until you're putting in that position, right? And so I found myself kind of asking, well, what do I love to do? Basketball. Okay, what else? I had to answer that question. I didn't know anything else.

I hadn't played the year before, and I still had dreams and aspirations of playing in the NBA. And I mean, that took all the wind out of my cell. First game of the season. First five minutes of me watching that season. I was like, man, let me watch basketball. I'm going to get back into it because I'm playing this season. Somebody's going to pick me up.

It's like, but seeing these relics and all of these things that still stood the test of time and still actually here today and just seeing that it was very inspiring. I was always fascinated in the Renaissance, you know, in the Renaissance period and knowing that the houses were right down the street. So you could go and Go study under Michelangelo and be a sculptor. You could go under Da Vinci and be a painter, and it's right all right there in this small little space outside of Florence or Influence or whatever. I can't remember.”

  31. “And that's kind of a perfect segue, actually. I kind of had to come to appreciate that because one could consider a lot of his unfinished work to be a masterpiece. And that's kind of how I look at my career because it was, you know, in my opinion, it was unfinished. It's finished, but it was still an unfinished painting, in my opinion. And that kind of gave me a little confidence too. Like, yeah, he didn't even finish all his paintings. You guys, you know, that was the da Vinci people. Yeah. You know what I mean? And, you know, one of the cool things me and my wife, we love to vacation.”

  35. “Many dinners, lunches, talking, dissecting the game. And he wants to be great. I think a lot of people can work on their appetite to be great. And that doesn't necessarily mean having a bunch of money or having a bunch of tremendous amount of success. That could be, man, I'm coming here. I'm being consistent. I'm working every day. I'm putting in the work. My mental preparation is good. I'm ready to carry out this task for this goal, having this unified goal and going after it.

If you're trying too hard to be a motivator, it can come off as phony. And people are very smart. They can pick up one of those things. Pat, he's always... Had that open door policy. He's always been one of those guys. You just knock on his door and talk. It can be intimidating. A lot of people don't do it. It can be. It's like going to the principal's office, you know? But he has always been open. I mean, you know.”

But sitting there and being open to thinking of myself in that position of not being a player. And thinking of what would be the book that I wanted to read before a game if I were a younger player today? So this is kind of that book that I wanted to read. And, you know, one of the favorite parts about books like that is that they always translate it. You know whether thou was whether you're an athlete, whether you're a CEO, a leader, a follower, a librarian, a teacher.
