“The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I’m out there, no one can bother me.”

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.

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!

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

I was probably born a scorer, but I was made a winner. Whatever works, whatever wins championships, wins games, that’s what I do.

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

You want a CEO that understands they need to build a team around them that’s sharper and smarter than they are.

Calm before the Storm and after once the dust settles.

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

What people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me.

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