The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can't let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.
It doesn't matter if you fall down, it's whether you get back up.
My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . . . Failure always made me try harder next time.
Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.
Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
The game is my life. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.
It's a heavy duty to try to do everything and please everybody. My job was to go out there and play the game of basketball as best I can and provide entertainment for everyone who wanted to watch basketball. Obviously, people may not agree with that; again, I can't live with what everyone's impression of what I should or what I shouldn't do.
Anything can happen if you are willing to put in the work and remain open to the possibility. Dreams are realized by effort, determination, passion and staying connected to that sense of who you are.

Another day, another opportunity to prove everyone who doubts you wrong.
