If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

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

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.

My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn't stand the sideline.

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

My best skill was that I was coachable. I was a sponge and aggressive to learn.

All I wanted to do was to improve, to keep getting better.
