“It doesn’t matter if you win as long as you give everything in your heart.”

If you can’t stop thinking about it, don’t stop working on it.

Winners don’t just learn the fundamentals, they master them. You have to monitor your fundamentals constantly because the only thing that changes will be your attention to them.

If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life.

I never thought a role model should be negative.

A coach is someone that sees beyond your limits and guides you to greatness!

The key to success is failure.

If you are confident you have done everything possible to prepare yourself, then there is nothing to fear.

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

Excellence isn’t a one-week or one-year ideal. It’s a constant.

The best come from the worst.

I’m all about challenges and seeing if I can go out and see if I can achieve something. If at the end of the day I do it, great. If I don’t, I can live with myself.

To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.

The reason I became such a successful athlete was my mind was saying that no matter who you put up against me, I am better, I am the best.

I play to win, whether during practice or a real game.

Earn your leadership every day.

All I wanted to do was to improve, to keep getting better.

Every night on the court I give my all, and if I’m not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.

Don’t be afraid of failure. This is the way to succeed.

I’m ready to accept the challenge. I’m coming home.

Failure is acceptable. but not trying is a whole different ball park.

I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.

Imagine doing your job at the highest level to where you’re not needed anymore.

Don’t let them drag you down by rumors just go with what you believe in.

The important thing is that your teammates have to know you’re pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.
