David Robinson quotes about
lead solid
When we got a lead we did not play smart. We need to play a solid 48 minutes.
business thinking editors
I think editors are excellent marketers. They know their audience and produce copy to appeal to them - they just don't call it marketing.
basketball what-matters defense
Defense is what matters. Scoring doesn't interest me.
teamwork winning player
I think any player will tell you that individual accomplishments help your ego, but if you don't win, it makes for a very, very long season. It counts more that the team has played well.
basketball thinking games
Basketball is just something else to do, another facet of life. I'm going to be a success at whatever I choose because of my preparation. By the time the game starts, the outcome has been decided. I never think about having a bad game because I have prepared.
basketball challenges stronger
You're always going to face criticism, you're always going to face challenges, but those things are there to make you stronger and more committed.
attitude player men
What I need to do is have a great positive attitude and a great work ethic. Those two things validate me. Yes, it's important that I have good numbers, and I'm well-respected as a player. But I think it's more important that I'm respected as a man.
motivational dream stars
Dream big; at least you will have the joy of reaching for the stars instead of living in a box filled with unopened gifts.
