“When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.”

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.

Some got no luck and some got all the luck in the world. I definitely got lucky with you that for sure!

A lion on the creep looking for his next kill!

I hear that word pressure all the time. There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don’t put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.

I enjoy the competition and whatever it takes throughout the competition, I will do it.

I feel confident because I’m the best player in the world. It’s that simple.

My power. My control. My freedom. Unleashed.

I don’t know how tall I am or how much I weigh. Because I don’t want anybody to know my identity. I’m like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.

Believe in yourself, even if it mean sacrificing everything.

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

To be the best, you have to work the hardest. You have to chase what seems impossible over and over and over again, because giving up is not an option.

When you feel like you’ve reached your limit, it’s only the beginning.

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe.

Trying something new. Jumping out the photo frame! 

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

I focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.

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.

The topic of leadership is a touchy one. A lot of leaders fail because they don’t have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven’t had that fear.

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?

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

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

Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

I enjoy playing at the heart of it is just a kid who really loves playing the game of basketball.
