Look Me In The Eye. It’s Ok If You’re Scared. So Am I. But We Are Scared For Different Reasons. I Am Scared Of What I Won’t Become. And You Are Scared Of What I Could Become. Look At Me.

Not Every Flying Hero Has A Cape.

You Don't Show Up On Game Day And Expect To Be Great. Greatness Happens In Practice. You Have To Expect Things Of Yourself Before You Can Do Them.

I Know What I Would Do If I Were Coach. I'd Determine Our Strengths And Weaknesses And Utilize Them. And It's Pretty Clear What Our Strength Is.

You Have To Expect Things Of Yourself Before You Can Do Them.

My Father Used To Say That It's Never Too Late To Do Anything You Wanted To Do. And He Said, 'you Never Know What You Can Accomplish Until You Try.'

You Have To Be Able To Say, Ok, That Happened Back Then. Now Let's Take It From Here And See What Happens. It Would Be Very Easy To Hate People For The Rest Of Your Life, And Some People Have Done That. You've Got To Deal With What's Happening Now And Try To Make Things Better.

Anything Can Happen If You Are Willing To Put In The Work And Remain Open To The Possibility. Dreams Are Realized By Effort, Determination, Passion And Staying Connected To That Sense Of Who You Are.

Another Day, Another Opportunity To Prove Everyone Who Doubts You Wrong.

I Make Shoes For White Suburban Kids, Not The Poor Black Kids. That Would Be Like Opening A Restaurant For People Without Stomachs.

If You Accept The Expectations Of Others, Especially Negative Ones, Then You Never Will Change The Outcome.

Can I Still Dunk... Are You Stupid?

The Key To Success Is Failure

For A Competitive Junkie Like Me, Golf Is A Great Solution Because It Smacks You In The Face Every Time You Think You Have Accomplished Something. That To Me Has Taken Over A Lot Of The Energy And Competitiveness For Basketball.

Isn't (life) All About Trying?

I Hope The Millions Of People I've Touched Have The Optimism And Desire To Share Their Goals And Hard Work And Persevere With A Positive Attitude.

If I Have Something And Move Forward, It Is Only My Weakness, Which I Hate And Turn Into My Strength. You Are Not Lost As Long As You Do Not Give Up!

I Hate Being Out There With Those Garbage Men. They Don't Get You The Ball.

Maybe It’s My Own Fault. Maybe I Led You To Believe It Was Easy When It Wasn’t. Maybe I Made You Think My Highlights Started At The Free Throw Line, And Not In The Gym. Maybe I Made You Think That Every Shot I Took Was A Game Winner. That My Game Was Built On Flash, And Not Fire. Maybe It’s My Fault That You Didn’t See That Failure Gave Me Strength; That My Pain Was My Motivation. Maybe I Led You To Believe That Basketball Was A God Given Gift, And Not Something I Worked For Every Single Day Of My Life. Maybe I Destroyed The Game. Or Maybe You’re Just Making Excuses.

Authenticity Is About Being True To Who You Are, Even When Everyone Around You Wants You To Be Someone Else

I Can Remember A Game, We Were Down With About 5 To 10 Points, I Go Off About 25 Points, We Come Back And Win The Game, We're Walking Off The Floor. Tex (winter) Looks At Me And Says "there's No "i" In Team!" I Looked At Tex And Say, "there's Not, But There's An 'i' In Win!

I Think School Is Very Important And I Personally Had A Great Experience At North Carolina, Which Helped Shape Me As A Basketball Player And A Person.

When I Did Come Back In 1995 And We Played Utah In '96, I'm At The Center Circle And Bryon Russell Is Standing Next To Me. I Said, "you Remember What You Said In 1994 About, 'i Think I Can Guard You, I Can Shut You Down, I Would Love To Play Against You?' Well, You're About To Get Your Chance.

There Are Plenty Of Teams In Every Sport That Have Great Players And Never Win Titles. Most Of The Time, Those Players Aren't Willing To Sacrifice For The Greater Good Of The Team. The Funny Thing Is, In The End, Their Unwillingness To Sacrifice Only Makes Individual Goals More Difficult To Achieve.
