There is no 'i' in team but there is in win.

The players today reflect how much the game has evolved and changed both in style and culture. [...] The game now has a wider appeal to a larger market.

Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates

Great players never look in the mirror and think I'm a great basketball player. You ask yourself, Am I the best player I can be?

If I thought of the number of people who were watching me as I got ready to shoot, I?d miss it.

If I had stood at the free-throw line and thought about 10 million people watching me on the other side of the camera lens, I couldn't have made anything. So I mentally tried to put myself in a familiar place. I thought about all those times I shot free throws in practice and went through the same motion, the same technique that I had used thousands of times. You forget about the outcome. You know you are doing the right things. So you relax and perform.

It's not how hard you pushed along the way. It's having something in you to finish.
