There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don't believe there is only one greatest player either.

Each time I step on the basketball court, I never know what will happen. I live for the moment. I play for the moment.

You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that.

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.

It doesn't matter who scores. If you have an opportunity to score, you score.

I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot... when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.

Sometimes, things may not go your way, but the effort should be there every single night.
