The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I'm out there, no one can bother me...
If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life.
It's a habit of mine now, noticing labels, logos, shoes.
I want to be the bridge to the next generation.
If you quit ONCE it becomes a habit.Never quit!!!
When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game.
I hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.
I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot... when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.
In any investment, you expect to have fun and make money.
I've never been afraid to fail.
There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don't believe there is only one greatest player either.
Sometimes, things may not go your way, but the effort should be there every single night.
When I was young, I had to learn the fundamentals of basketball. You can have all the physical ability in the world, but you still have to know the fundamentals.
The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.
