It's heavy duty to try to do everything and please everybody . . . My job was to go out there and play the game of basketball as best I can, ... People may not agree with that . . . I can't live with what everyone's impression of what I should or what I shouldn't do.
Failure builds muscle, determination, and dreams.
Maybe it’s my own fault. Maybe I led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. Maybe I made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. Maybe I made you think that every shot I took was a game winner. That my game was built on flash, and not fire. Maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. Maybe I led you to believe that basketball was a God given gift, and not something I worked for every single day of my life. Maybe I destroyed the game. Or maybe you’re just making excuses.
Each time I step on the basketball court, I never know what will happen. I live for the moment. I play for the moment.
If nobody will help you do it alone!
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.
A loss is not a failure until you make an excuse.
You always have to focus in life on what you want to achieve.
I set another goal ... a reasonable, manageable goal that I could realistically achieve if I worked hard enough. I approached everything step by step.
My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn't stand the sideline.
I've reached the pinnacle of my career. I just feel that I don't have anything else to prove.
Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise
Heart is what separates the good from the great.
People ask me if I could fly, I said, 'yeah....' for a little while.
