Sport is a preserver of health.
Everything is hard before it is easy.
Perform at your best when your best is required. Your best is required each day.
There is a choice you have to make in everything you do. So keep in mind that in the end, the choice you make, makes you.
Listen to how everyone is talking about you. You have to use it as fuel for motivation.
Basketball is my refuge, my sanctuary. I go back to being a kid on the playground. When I get here, it’s all good.
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.
My brain cannot process failure. It will not process failure
What I’m doing right now, I’m chasing perfection... and if I don’t get it, I’m going to get this close.
I focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.
People just don’t understand how obsessed I am with winning.
Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they’re making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.
I have failed many times, but I have never gone into a game expecting myself to fail.
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.
Sometimes, things may not go your way, but the effort should be there every single night.
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.
Don’t let them drag you down by rumors. Just go with what you believe in.
The key to success is failure.
