I was taught to play that way when I was in high school and even before I got to high school.

I'm not the guy who's afraid of failure. I like to take risks, take the big shot and all that.

Every time I rise, I have confidence that I'm going to make it.

Basketball isn't just a sport. It is an art, one that must be mastered to succeed.

Success comes after you conquer your biggest obstacles and hurdles.

There's more to me than just this jersey I wear, and that's Christ living inside of me.

Success is not an accident, success is a choice.

If you don't fall how are you going to know what getting up is like.

There's so many young peoople who start to play basketball and never learn the fundamentals.

If you're a basketball player, you've got to shoot.

We're all Americans trying to compete. Magic was competing for his team and Larry for his team.

Just because it is an All-Star Game doesn't mean that you are playing as efficiently as you should.

I think that teaching coaches are the norm now.

But when I did it (the triple-double), I didn't even know it until someone told me.

I think that basketball players should get the job done no matter how it looks on the screen.

But if people are buying the products, naturally they're gonna use them.

People say that, but I think the NBA was bigger than Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.

When I started playing, I wasn't fast, I was gangly, my jump shot was terrible.
