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.
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.
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.
Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
I’ve never lost a game. I just ran out of time.
Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.
Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.
To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.
Make it happen.
Once I made a decision, I never thought about it again.
I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.
