I am privileged to have played basketball.

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.

Gambling is legal and betting is legal, for what I bet.

Every time I feel tired while I am exercising and training, I close my eyes to see that picture, to see that list with my name. This usually motivates me to work again.

Don't let them drag you down by rumors just go with what you believe in.

I don't know about flying, but sometimes it feels like I have these little wings on my feet.

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