Sometimes you need to get hit in the head to realize that you’re in a fight.
The best come from the worst.
A coach is someone that sees beyond your limits and guides you to greatness!
It’s not about the shoes, it’s what you do in them.
I knew where I wanted to go, what kind of player I wanted to become and I focused on getting there.
I’m not afraid to take a step and if I fall, I fall. I pick myself up and move on. If we can all learn one thing in life, it’s don’t be afraid to take on something that you believe you’re capable of achieving.
There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don’t believe there is only one greatest player either.
Live the moment for the moment.
My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn’t stand the sideline.
If you put your mind to doing whatever it is you want to do, good things can happen.
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.
I believe greatness is an evolutionary process that changes and evolves era to era.
I want to be the bridge to the next generation.
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.
Sometimes, things may not go your way, but the effort should be there every single night.
I never thought a role model should be negative.
If you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.
Each time I step on the basketball court, I never know what will happen. I live for the moment. I play for the moment.
I’m not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.
I’ve reached the pinnacle of my career. I just feel that I don’t have anything else to prove.
