I am privileged to have played basketball.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

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

Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.

Another day, another opportunity to prove everyone who doubts you wrong.

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.

Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.

The Bible, sacred writings.

I just look at women sometimes and I just want to ask them, "Do you know how fabulous you are?"
