It was a great feeling to be named an All-Star starter, to know that my hard work is paying off and fans around the world are recognizing that.

I'm not the No. 1 starter. I'm not the guy that's going to carry the staff for four months out of the season, but I can contribute in a lot of ways. And to me I'm very proud of that.

It's not the name that makes the player. It's the player.

Winning starts with beginning.

I have 'the first' attached to my name in a whole lot of different aspects when it comes to the sport of basketball.

It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

I went through baseball as 'a player to be named later.'

There are better starters than me but I'm a strong finisher.

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.

I'm just thinking about being the best I can be for the team first because that's what comes first.
