“There’s that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?”

Some times your best effort just isn’t good enough.

Calm before the Storm and after once the dust settles.

The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman.

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

But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.

When you believe in something and believe in your community, no one can stop you from creating change.

I love the success of my teammates more than my individual achievements.

Basketball isn’t easy. All my life I’ve been striving to make myself better. It’s a full time commitment.

A LeBron James team is never desperate.

A friend told me ‘I guess you gotta go through a lot of nightmares, before you finally, you know, accomplish your dreams.

Yoga isn’t just about the body, it’s also about the mind and it’s a technique that has really helped me.

I assure you, you will never survive on your wits alone.

When you sit courtside you absolutely know what comes with being on the floor and if you don’t know it’s on the back on the ticket itself that states the guidelines.

Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness.

A lot of players know how to play the game, but they really don’t know how to play the game, if you know what I mean.

God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

Almost as many inhumanities are committed in the name of love as in the name of religion.

Being of service is not enough. You must become a servant of the people. When you do, you can demand their commitment in return.

The one man to distrust, however, is the man who never makes a mistake, never commits a blunder, never fails in what he tries to do. He is either a phony, or he stays with the safe, the tried, and the trivial.

Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.

An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don’t.

Politicians are like dogs, Their life expectancy is too short for a commitment to be bearable

I’m committed to my family.

From the time I was twelve years old until I retired last year at the age of fifty-seven, the Army was my life. I loved commanding soldiers and being around people who had made a serious commitment to serve their country.
