“Believe in yourself, even if it mean sacrificing everything.”

I need music. It’s like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what’s going on – bad games, press, whatever!

As athletes, it’s no longer just about being the strongest, fastest, toughest, it’s so so so important to take that time for your mind and mental well-being.

I’m a guy who tries to be successful in all that I do, and when you fall short, it hurts.

I’m going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.

She controls the music when she rides with me.

I’m not afraid of nothing, I just like the challenge, and I love being here.

Some things never change!

My brother!! I wouldn’t be the player I am today without your commitment and friendship throughout this whole journey!

Why So Serious? Cause you’re still being doubted and there’s work that needs to be done!

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.

I’ve always taken ‘The Wizard of Oz’ very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I’ve spent my entire life trying to get over it.

I struggle for what I believe in. Life is short, it’s impossible to repeat something; you have to take advantage of things when you can reach them.

We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don’t like?

We believe in individual initiative, personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, small government, the Constitution. These principles, these American principles are key to getting our economy back to being successful and leading the world.

Bill [Gates] and I believe philanthropy can only be effective if it starts things and proves whether they actually work or not. That’s the place that governments often don’t want to, or can’t, work.

I firmly believe you’re never supposed to wish for more than you’re willing to work for. Expectations should never exceed your effort.

Believe me, it is actions that count.

I have no regrets. If you regret things, you’re sort of stepping backwards. I’m a believer in going forwards.
