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.

Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

It doesn't matter if you win as long as you give everything in your heart

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.

Don't be like me. Be better than me. That's the goal.

I can never stop working hard. Each day I feel that I have to improve. Hardwork...Determination...I gotta keep pushing myself.

I would tell players to relax and never think about what's at stake. Just think about the basketball game. If you start to think about who is going to win the championship, you've lost your focus.
