The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.
I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.
You can’t be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.
I never tried to prove anything to someone else. I wanted to prove something to myself.
Love me or hate me. It’s one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fadeaway, my hunger. Hate that I’m a veteran, a champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I’m loved for the exact same reasons.
You just stay patient, that’s all.
People just don’t understand how obsessed I am with winning.
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.
I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don’t do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.
Being afraid on the court means you’re not confident of your skills.
I play to win, whether during practice or a real game.
I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.
All I knew was that I NEVER wanted to be AVERAGE.
Patience. I will become what I know I am.
There was never any fear for me, no fear of failure. If I miss a shot, so what?
Each time I step on the basketball court, I never know what will happen. I live for the moment. I play for the moment.
To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.
Failure gave me strength. Pain was my motivation.
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
If you even dream of beating me you’d better wake up and apologize.
