Being afraid on the court, means you're not confident of your skills

I want to be perceived as a guy who played his best in all facets, not just scoring. A guy who loved challenges.

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.

If I had stood at the free-throw line and thought about 10 million people watching me on the other side of the camera lens, I couldn't have made anything. So I mentally tried to put myself in a familiar place. I thought about all those times I shot free throws in practice and went through the same motion, the same technique that I had used thousands of times. You forget about the outcome. You know you are doing the right things. So you relax and perform.

Being nervous isn't bad. It just means something important is happening.

If I have an agenda or a goal, no one is going to deter me from what I want to do.

I hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.
