“Focus like a laser, not a flashlight.”

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.

I am competing with what I am capable of.

Nothing of value comes without being earned.

A loss is not a failure until you make an excuse.

If you quit once it becomes a habit. Never quit!

Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates.

If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them.

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.

Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

People ask me if I could fly, I said, yeah – for a little while.

It doesn’t matter if you win as long as you give everything in your heart.

I had some shots that I felt like I should’ve made; I just didn’t make them. I’m not going to shoot the ball great every night.

Maybe my pain was my motivation.

We all can be masters at our craft, but you have to make sacrifices that come along with making that decision.

I don’t want to be Kobe, I want to be LeBron.

Small town kid with Big Dreams! It’s been a fun ride so far but crazy cause it just keep getting even better!

I don’t think a coach becomes the right coach until he wins a championship.

To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.
