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

Authenticity is about being true to who you are, even when everyone around you wants you to be someone else

Commitment cannot be compromised by rewards.

Failure is acceptable. but not trying is a whole different ball park.

Don’t let them drag you down by rumors just go with what you believe in.

My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.

My heroes are and were my parents. I can’t see having anyone else as my heroes.

All I knew is that I never wanted to be average.

I was aware of my success, but I never stopped trying to get better.

Heart is what separates the good from the great.

Focus like a laser, not a flashlight.

Focus like a laser, not a flashlight.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Failure gave me strength. Pain was my motivation.

The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.

I believe greatness is an evolutionary process that changes and evolves era to era.

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.

It’s not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

I think the reason why I am who I am today is because I went through those tough times when I was younger.

I’d rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.

The harder I prepare, the luckier I seem to get.

My drive and passion will outweigh your hate! Nothing you can do to stop me. You only help me!

Minor setback for major comeback.

We have an opportunity to get better.
