“Failure makes me work even harder.”

No brain, no gain. Stay in school.

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.

You don’t show up on game day and expect to be great. Greatness happens in practice. You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

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?

Don’t be like me. Be better than me. That’s the goal.

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

My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.

Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.

Being afraid on the court, means you’re not confident of your skills.

The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can’t let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.

You always have to focus in life on what you want to achieve.

Every time I feel tired while I am exercising and training, I close my eyes to see that picture, to see that list with my name. This usually motivates me to work again.

I don’t go out and just try to score. I score because there is an opportunity to score.

I want to wake up every day and do whatever comes in my mind, and not feel pressure or obligations to do anything else in my life.

Any fear is an illusion. You think something is standing in your way, but nothing is really there. What is there is an opportunity to do your best and gain some success.

If you’re looking to become an entrepreneur then don’t waste your time going to university or business school – just get on and do it.

I’m convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.

The best people want to work the big challenges.

30% of all people will never believe you. Do not allow your colleagues and employees to work for you. Instead, let them work for a common goal.

Y’all know the secret now, stop searching and start creating.

Opportunity comes once in a lifetime.

If you don’t have time for the small things, you won’t have time for the big things.

You have something special. You have greatness within you. You have something no one else has.
