Basketball is a beautiful game when the five players on the court play with one heartbeat.
I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.
You can't let the highs make you feel overconfident nor let the lows be a reason to quit.
Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.
I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
You can't be afraid to fail. It's the only way you succeed. You're not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot.
My mentality was to go out and win, at any cost.
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.
The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.
If you are afraid of failure you don’t deserve to be successful!
Basketball is like photography, if you don't focus, all you have is the negative.
Success is not an accident, success is actually a choice.
Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.
I think that the good and the great are only separated by the willingness to sacrifice.
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.
