“Earn your leadership every day.”

I’ve never lost a game I just ran out of time.

If nobody will help you do it alone!

No brain, no gain. Stay in school.

Confidence allows you to progress in something you’re attempting to accomplish, whether it’s playing basketball or baseball or whether it’s trying to succeed in business.

You don’t show up on game day and expect to be great. Greatness happens in practice. You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

Great players never look in the mirror and think I’m a great basketball player. You ask yourself, Am I the best player I can be?

Don’t be like me. Be better than me. That’s the goal.

Sometimes a winner is just a dreamer who never gave up.

My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.

Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.

Being afraid on the court, means you’re not confident of your skills.

The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can’t let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.

You always have to focus in life on what you want to achieve.

Every time I feel tired while I am exercising and training, I close my eyes to see that picture, to see that list with my name. This usually motivates me to work again.

I don’t go out and just try to score. I score because there is an opportunity to score.

I’m open to love. But guys should have to earn it. Because the minute they get it, they want something else.

Speak not injurious words neither in jest nor earnest; scoff at none although they give occasion

A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned.

You have to remember something: Everybody pities the weak; jealousy you have to earn.

It is always interesting to see people in dead earnest, from whatever cause, and earthquakes make everybody earnest.

Money is not everything. Make sure you earn a lot before speaking such nonsense.

Earning happiness means doing good and working, not speculating and being lazy. Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction.

Nothing of value comes without being earned.
