“The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.”

The guy said NBA players are one in a million, I said, ‘Man, look, I’m going to be that one in a million.

I’m reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose.

If you want to make history, you have to do historic things.

When you start training camp, you’re building the tools necessary to win a championship. You have to have the patience.

I was probably born a scorer, but I was made a winner. Whatever works, whatever wins championships, wins games, that’s what I do.

I don’t talk trash often, but when I do, I go for the jugular.

You want a CEO that understands they need to build a team around them that’s sharper and smarter than they are.

What people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me.

There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own.

There’s been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that’s simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we’ve won when I score 10.

What does perfection look like to me? Championship rings.

I feel like I just returned a 100-yard kickoff in the last two minutes of the Super Bowl to win it all, only to have my run called back by a flag on the play.

You just try to take it one day at a time, You step on the basketball floor and just play. It’s fun. I’m comfortable with it.

I’m playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition-that’s what I’ve always wanted.

Basketball is my refuge, my sanctuary. I go back to being a kid on the playground. When I get here, it’s all good.

I wouldn’t say I’m a ball hog. I’m a shooter. I don’t necessarily hog the ball, but I put them up though. I definitely much rather shoot it than pass it. That’s just how I am.

Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything great.

Love is the greatest apologetic. It is the essential component in reaching the whole person in a fragmented world. The need is vast, but it is also imperative that we be willing to follow the example of Jesus and meet the need.

Too great pity is the greatest cruelty.

Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything great. Without it no man is to be feared, and with it none despised.

Good men have the fewest fears. He has but one great fear who fears to do wrong; he has a thousand who has overcome it.

Churches have given us great treasures such as music and architecture. Whether that pays for the harm they have done is another matter.

Seclusion is the price of greatness.

The greatest romance is with the Infinite.
