There was never any fear for me, no fear of failure. If I miss a shot, so what?

I knew where I wanted to go, what kind of player I wanted to become and I focused on getting there.

If you are confident you have done everything possible to prepare yourself, then there is nothing to fear.

My advice is find fuel in failure. Sometimes failure gets you closer to where you want to be.

It doesn't matter if you fall down, it's whether you get back up.

The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I'm out there, no one can bother me.

You know what I think? Very few people play because they love the game. Most of them play because they make good money. They keep playing because of the money. I could care less about it. If I don't love the game, no check is going to keep me playing.
