I want to be the bridge to the next generation.

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.

It's not about the shoes, it's what you do in them.

Once I get the ball, you're at my mercy. There is nothing you can say or do about it. I own the ball.

I want to play for years.

There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail

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