    Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. - Winston Churchill

    Some highlights:
    -His Mom sounds like a force of nature. A former WNBA player (brief career) she was Paolo's most vocal and hard driving critic. He probably credits her with a chunk of his success, but he also had to ask her to stop coming to his games because her constant banter and suggestions made him lose focus.
    -What sealed coming to Duke for him was Coach K telling him that while he was good enough to get to the NBA from any college, he needed to come to Duke to maximize himself because K and the staff would really push him.
