business blessing people
Being able to touch so many people through my businesses and make money while doing it, is a huge blessing.
basketball growing-up nba
I wanted to do two things when I was growing up, about your age. I wanted to play in the NBA, and I wanted to be a businessman after my basketball career was over, and that is what I am doing now.
attitude athlete positive-attitude
Any guy who can maintain a positive attitude without much playing time certainly earns my respect.
basketball sports men
Everyone thought I was going to die like a year later, they didn't know. So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He's not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.
basketball daughter son
I want to be here for a long time, so I am going to do everything I have to do to be here. And I want to walk my daughter down the aisle and give her away to somebody some day. I want to make sure I am still here to make sure my two young sons become men.
athlete common injury
As an athlete, I understood the value of my health insurance. I knew that in my profession, injuries were common and could happen at any time.
business people important
With businesses, you go to the same places because you like the service, you like the people and they take care of you. They greet you with a smile. That's how people want to be treated, with respect. That's what I tell my employees.. customer service is very important.
basketball memories prayer
Standing on that platform, I said a silent prayer. I thanked God for giving me the strength and the opportunity to come back, to play basketball again, and to be part of that whole magnificent Olympic experience. It's a memory I will always cherish.
inspiring basketball who-i-am
Magic is who I am on the basketball court. Earvin is who I am.
inspiring basketball winning
If you're a competitive person, that stays with you. You don't stop. You always look over your shoulder.
hard-work opportunity years
I really want people to know that I've worked hard, very hard, to get to where I am today.. this didn't just happen overnight. I started in business over 25 years ago and have found a way to build on what I've learned through every partnership and opportunity.
basketball thinking games
I never think that there's something I can't do, whether it's beating my opponent one on one or practicing another hour because something about my game is just not right.
basketball killing said
They said playing basketball would kill me. Well, not playing basketball was killing me.
inspiring mothers-day christian
My father was a great example of a strong and good man and Christian man, and my mother taught all my six sisters how to be young ladies and mothers and how to take care of your family. And so I think they were - they still are - great examples for all of us to their kids and to the world, too.
