What is love? Love is playing every game as if it's your last!

I know what's within me even if you can't see it yet...I have something more important than courage, I have patience. I will become what I know I am.

The reason I became such a successful athlete was my mind was saying that no matter who you put up against me, I am better, I am the best.

The key to success is failure

I would never play an extra year for money. I play the game because I love it. I just so happen to get paid. If I don't feel I still enjoy the game, I can care less what a year is worth. I'm not going to play the game just because of money.

It's absolutely wrong that I don't want guys to challenge me. And the people who say that aren't in the room.

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.
