At big championships it's not the fastest person, it's the person who gets it right on the day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not the fastest guy or the quickest guy.
I can say when it comes to championships it's a tactical race and normally you don't have a pacesetter who can set a pace for fast times. That is why you see that obviously we fall around 1:43 because that is the most favorable one can run from the front.
To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.
Even the slowest guy can go from first to third and help win a ballgame.
I am fast and very powerful on the court, so this is what matters.
A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.
I'm old school. I'm not the fastest guy or the quickest guy.
You can play fast but not in a hurry. As a point guard, I can dictate that.
You can wish as hard as you like but all that really matters is the shape you're in on the day of the race. I've always felt these really big races aren't necessarily won by whoever is the fastest. They're won by the athlete who is the smartest and in the best shape on the day.
Nobody is faster than me.
