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

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.

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

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

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.

Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.

Not every flying hero has a cape.

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’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.

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

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