“Once you become a professional athlete or once you do anything well, then you’re automatically a role model.”

I feel confident because I’m the best player in the world. It’s that simple.

My power. My control. My freedom. Unleashed.

I don’t know how tall I am or how much I weigh. Because I don’t want anybody to know my identity. I’m like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.

Believe in yourself, even if it mean sacrificing everything.

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

To be the best, you have to work the hardest. You have to chase what seems impossible over and over and over again, because giving up is not an option.

When you feel like you’ve reached your limit, it’s only the beginning.

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe.

Trying something new. Jumping out the photo frame! 

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

Staying POISED, PRIMED and PREPPED for whenever it’s time to punch time again.

I don’t need too much. Glamour and all that stuff don’t excite me. I’m just glad I have the game of basketball in my life.

If you ain’t wit us, We ain’t with you all.

Everyone is ready to celebrate your hard work and accomplishments.

I don’t need too much. Glamour and all that stuff don’t excite me. I’m just glad I have the game of basketball in my life.

If you ain’t wit us, We ain’t with you all.

I don’t have to show anything to anyone. There is nothing to prove.

As athletes, we stand on the shoulders of giants. We must continue their fight on behalf our community.

Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.

I’ve never tried to hide the fact that it is my intention to become the best.

I prefer other people to make judgments about the way I play and to characterize me, rather me describe myself.

Together, athletes and helpers show us that there are no obstacles or barriers which cannot be overcome.

Little by little, I’m getting better all the time. I’ve not lost the passion to play.

To me, being the best means proving it in different countries and championships.
