The End Of The Day

Ultimately, If You Can Say That I'm A Bad Owner And We're Winning Championships, I Can Live With That. But If We're Not Making The Playoffs And We're Spending And Losing Money, Then I Have To Look In The Mirror And Say Maybe I'm Not Taking The Necessary Steps To Doing What It Takes To Run An Organization.

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.

So I Mentally Tried To Put Myself In A Familiar Place.

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. I Won’t Let Myself End Where I Started. I Won’t Let Myself Finish Where I Began. I Know What Is Within Me, Even If You Can’t See It Yet. Look Me In The Eyes. I Have Something More Important Than Courage. I Have Patience. I Will Become What I Know I Am.

I Am Competing With What I Am Capable Of.

Be Optimistic About Everything In Life.

People Say They Wish They Were Michael Jordan. Ok, Do It For A Year. Do It For Two Years. Do It For Five Years. When You Get Past The Fun Part, Then Go Do The Part Where You Get Into Cities At Three A.m. And You Have Fifteen People Waiting For Autographs When You're As Tired As Hell.

When I Step Onto The Court, I Don't Have To Think About Anything. If I Have A Problem Off The Court, I Find That After I Play, My Mind Is Clearer And I Can Come Up With A Better Solution. It's Like Therapy. It Relaxes Me And Allows Me To Solve Problems.

The Game Of Basketball Has Been Everything To Me. My Place Of Refuge, Place I've Always Gone Where I Needed Comfort And Peace. It's Been The Site Of Intense Pain And The Most Intense Feelings Of Joy And Satisfaction. It's A Relationship That Has Evolved Over Time, Given Me The Greatest Respect And Love For The Game.

I Have Failed Many Times, But I Have Never Gone Into A Game Expecting Myself To Fail.

The Best Evaluation I Can Make Of A Player Is To Look In His Eyes And See How Scared They Are.

I Basically Expect Anything. Isn't That Wild? I Used To Surprise Myself A Lot: Certain Moves, How I'd Get Out Of Trouble. But At Some Point, You Accept The Talent That You Have, You Accept Your Creativity.

My Advice Is Find Fuel In Failure. Sometimes Failure Gets You Closer To Where You Want To Be.

I Realized That If I Was Going To Achieve Anything In Life I Had To Be Aggressive. I Had To Get Out There And Go For It... I Know Fear Is An Obstacle For Some People, But It's An Illusion To Me.

My Body Could Stand The Crutches But My Mind Couldn't Stand The Sideline.

I'm Not Out There Sweating For Three Hours Every Day Just To Find Out What It Feels Like To Sweat.

The Harder I Prepare, The Luckier I Seem To Get.

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?

Sometimes, Things May Not Go Your Way, But The Effort Should Be There Every Single Night.

It Doesn't Matter Who Scores. If You Have An Opportunity To Score, You Score.

Limits, Like Fear, Is Often An Illusion.

I Do Not Have A Problem, I Enjoy Gambling, But I Think People Are Trying To Make It Seem Like I Have A Problem, Because People Really Don't Know.

Even Though, Physically, I Can't Do It, The Mind Says, 'yeah, I Can Still Do It,' And I Still Think I Can Do It Better Than Most In The Nba, … Driven From Within.

My Attitude Is That If You Push Me Towards Something That You Think Is A Weakness, Then I Will Turn That Perceived Weakness Into A Strength.

Its Better To Shoot And Miss, Then To Let Time Run Out And Wonder What If

It's Not About The Shoes, It's What You Do In Them.

I've Never Been Afraid To Fail.

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.

When I Lose The Sense Of Motivation And The Sense To Prove Something As A Basketball Player, It's Time For Me To Move Away From The Game.

There Is No Such Thing As A Perfect Basketball Player, And I Don't Believe There Is Only One Greatest Player Either.

I've Always Believed That If You Put In The Work, The Results Will Come. I Don't Do Things Half-heartedly. Because I Know If I Do, Then I Can Expect Half-hearted Results.

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.
