Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.

I’ve never lost a game I just ran out of time.

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

I realize im black, but id like to be viewed as a person, and that is everybodys wish.

As athletes, we’re used to reacting quickly. Here, it’s ‘come, stop, come, stop.’ There’s a lot of downtime. That’s the toughest part of the day.

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...

To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.

I have failed many times, and that’s why I am a success.

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.

Not every flying hero has a cape.
