The one thing that always bothered me when I played in the NBA was I really got irritated when they put a white guy on me.

A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

Don't let winning make you soft. Don't let losing make you quit. Don't let your teammates down in any situation.

I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

I learned what my weaknesses were and I went out the next day to turn those weaknesses intro strengths.

My coach told me, "Larry, no matter how much you work at it, there's always someone out there who's working just a little harder - if you take 150 practice shots, he's taking 200." And that drove me.

I wasn't real quick, and I wasn't real strong. Some guys will just take off and it's like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.

There are many times when you are better off practicing than playing; but most people just don't understand that

I don't think that once you get to one level, you can relax. You've got to keep pushing.

You're all playin' for second place.

Changing practices is one thing

Instead of trying to hide yourself from the world, make it your signature trait. Make what most people think to be the worst of you become something your proud of.

Most of your struggles with managing your time are due to the self- limiting beliefs. Change your Mindset and you will be able to do lot more in lot less time

Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behavior.

I'm only interested in winning ball games and I can't be worrying about whether the sun's out or the moon's out.

Acting, is not a profession for adults.

First you have to have a dream.

The front windows as are the watchmen of grief - I've been looking beyond expectation - Beyond myself - and I do not know as I love you - Which one of us is missing.

Poetry is not a civilizer, rather the reverse, for great poetry appeals to the most primitive instincts.

Nothing is more important than to learn how to maintain a life of purpose in the midst of painful adversity.
