I just want to play basketball and be in my own zone.

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

Basketball is not an individual sport, it’s a team sport, and it’s about playing together.

I don’t know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody—somewhere—was practicing more than me.

The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.

The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle.

Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the ‘me’ for the ‘we’.

Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it.

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
