There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players andnever win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing tosacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, inthe end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individualgoals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullestis that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accoladeswill take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork andintelligence win championships.
I'm a firm believer in goal setting. Step by step. I can't see any other way of accomplishing anything.
I set another goal ... a reasonable, manageable goal that I could realistically achieve if I worked hard enough. I approached everything step by step.
Don't be like me. Be better than me. That's the goal.
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.
When I worked on my game, that's what I thought about. When it happened, I set another goal, a reasonable, manageable goal that I could realistically achieve if I worked hard enough. I guess I approached it with the end in mind. I knew exactly where I wanted to go, and I focused on getting there.
If I have an agenda or a goal, no one is going to deter me from what I want to do.
Purchasing the Bobcats is the culmination of my post-playing career goal of becoming the majority owner of an NBA franchise.
I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot . . . when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.
They should have never made that call, ... They complained about the refs all year.
I've missed over 9,000 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.
I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.
I am hooked. Next year, I am looking to expand the team, looking to compete. I want to win.
