“We can have no progress without change, whether it be basketball or anything else.”

It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.

It’s not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

The best competition I have is against myself to become better.

Champions never complain, they are too busy getting better.

I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.

Don’t let making a living prevent you from making a life.

Just try to be the best you can be; never cease trying to be the best you can be. That’s in your power.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

I’m not afraid to die.

Never lie, never cheat, never steal.

Earn the right to be proud and confident.

Passion is momentary; love is enduring.

It takes time to create excellence. If it could be done quickly, more people would do it.

I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.

Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference.

I think the reason why I am who I am today is because I went through those tough times when I was younger.

I’d rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.

The harder I prepare, the luckier I seem to get.

My drive and passion will outweigh your hate! Nothing you can do to stop me. You only help me!

Minor setback for major comeback.

We have an opportunity to get better.

The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I’m out there, no one can bother me.

If you’ve got the drive, the discipline, and the resolve to do what it takes to make yourself great, then the rewards are endless.
