“We’re all together as a country and as a family.”

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.

My main fight is for freedom and equality.

When I see the leadership roles black women are taking today I am very encouraged.

If you can only be tall because someone else is on their knees, then you have a serious problem. And white people have a very, very serious problem.

We should just come together as people. I think it’s really important to come together as humans, not as white people or black people, green and blue people.

Nothing is black or white.

Your silence will not protect you.

Many whites, even white Southerners told me that even though it may have seemed like the blacks were being freed (by my actions) they felt more free and at ease themselves. They thought that my action didn’t just free blacks but them, too.

I am a Black, Lesbian, Feminist, Warrior, Poet, Mother – stronger for all my identities, and I am indivisible.
