“People ask me if I could fly, I said, yeah – for a little while.”

Failure makes me work even harder.

There is no “I” in team but there is in win.

Once I made a decision, I never thought about it again.

It doesn’t matter if you fall down, it’s whether you get back up.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.

Learning is a gift, even when pain is your teacher!

There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles.

You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that.

Another day, another opportunity to prove everyone who doubts you wrong.

What is love? Love is playing every game as if it’s your last!

Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.

I realize i am black, but id like to be viewed as a person, and that is everybodys wish.

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.

If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them.

The people who truly know me know what I’m like. There have been people who try to say things that aren’t fair, and I check them. And then they don’t like me because I checked them.

As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don’t know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be.

I don’t have to hear that criticism, that idotic criticism anymore.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.

I knew where I wanted to go, what kind of player I wanted to become and I focused on getting there.

There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail.

I’m a firm believer in goal setting. Step by step. I can’t see any other way of accomplishing anything.
