I've Always Believed That If You Put In The Work, The Results Will Come.

When I Was Playing Before I Retired, I Never Really Understood The Appreciation And The Respect That People Gave Me. People Had Treated Me Like A God Or Something, And That Was Very Embarrassing.

Always Turn A Negative Situation Into A Positive Situation.

Never Say Never, Because Limits, Like Fears, Are Often Just An Illusion.

Any Fear Is An Illusion. You Think Something Is Standing In Your Way, But Nothing Is Really There. What Is There Is An Opportunity To Do Your Best And Gain Some Success.

I Know Fear Is An Obstacle For Some People, But It Is An Illusion To Me . . . Failure Always Made Me Try Harder Next Time.

Confidence Allows You To Progress In Something You're Attempting To Accomplish, Whether It's Playing Basketball Or Baseball Or Whether It's Trying To Succeed In Business.

Sometimes I Wonder What It Will Be Like To Look Back On All This. Whether It Will Seem Real.

I Play To Win, Whether During Practice Or A Real Game.

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

I Can't Speak For The Future. I Have No Crystal Ball.

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.

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

I Want To Wake Up Every Day And Do Whatever Comes In My Mind, And Not Feel Pressure Or Obligations To Do Anything Else In My Life.

I Will Not Quit This Game Because Of What The Media Has Done To Me.

Playing Sick. That Is So Hard To Do. It Has To Be A Total Mental Challenge, As Well As The Physical Challenge.

Inspirational Sports

I've Never Been Afraid To Fail.

Basketball Isn't My Job.

Can I Still Dunk... Are You Stupid?

If Nobody Will Help You Do It Alone!

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.

I Wasn't Really A Work Conscious Type Of Person.

If I Had Stood At The Free-throw Line And Thought About 10 Million People Watching Me On The Other Side Of The Camera Lens, I Couldn't Have Made Anything. So I Mentally Tried To Put Myself In A Familiar Place. I Thought About All Those Times I Shot Free Throws In Practice And Went Through The Same Motion, The Same Technique That I Had Used Thousands Of Times. You Forget About The Outcome. You Know You Are Doing The Right Things. So You Relax And Perform.

If I Thought Of The Number Of People Who Were Watching Me As I Got Ready To Shoot, I?d Miss It.

I Believe Greatness Is An Evolutionary Process That Changes And Evolves Era To Era.

I'm Not A Twitterer, I'm Not A Twerker, I'm Not A Facebooker. I Am A ... Nothin' ... I'm Old School.

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.

It Doesn't Matter If You Fall Down, It's Whether You Get Back Up.

Obstacles Don't Have To Stop You.

In College I Never Realized The Opportunities Available To A Pro Athlete. I've Been Given The Chance To Meet All Kinds Of People, To Travel And Expand My Financial Capabilities, To Get Ideas And Learn About Life, To Create A World Apart From Basketball.

Don't Be Afraid To Fail. Be Afraid Not To Try.

You Always Have To Focus In Life On What You Want To Achieve.

I Truly Love The Game; I Wouldn't Be Playing If I Didn't Love The Game. I'm Not Getting Paid Astronomical Dollars; It's Truly For The Love Of The Game Of Basketball.

I Am Competing With What I Am Capable Of.

The Basketball Court For Me, During A Game, Is The Most Peaceful Place I Can Imagine. On The Basketball Court, I Worry About Nothing. When I'm Out There, No One Can Bother Me.

In Any Investment, You Expect To Have Fun And Make Money.

I Viewed It As A Business, But I Always Viewed It As A Game. An Opportunity To Show My Skills, My Basketball Skills, Amongst The Best In The World.

I Never Feared About My Skills Because I Put In The Work. Work Ethic Eliminates Fear. So If You Put Forth The Work, What Are You Fearing? You Know What You're Capable Of Doing And What You're Not.

Just Play. Have Fun. Enjoy The Game.

Not Every Flying Hero Has A Cape.

I Can Accept Failure, Everyone Fails At Something. But I Can't Accept Not Trying.

Failure Builds Muscle, Determination, And Dreams.

Don't Let Them Drag You Down By Rumors Just Go With What You Believe In.

Live The Moment For The Moment.

Live In The Moment

Every Time I Feel Tired While I Am Exercising And Training, I Close My Eyes To See That Picture, To See That List With My Name. This Usually Motivates Me To Work Again.

I Just Feel That At This Particular Time In My Career, I've Reached The Pinnacle Of My Career, I've Achieved A Lot In That Short Amount Of Time, If You Want To Call It Short, But I Just Feel That I Don't Have Anything Else To Myself To Prove.

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.

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.

Earn Your Leadership Every Day.

Because I Want Every Kid To Be Viewed As A Person Rather Than As A Member Of A Certain Race Does Not Mean That I'm Not Black Enough. . . . Do They Want Me To Be Positive Just For Black Kids And Negative For Everybody Else?

You Know What I Think? Very Few People Play Because They Love The Game. Most Of Them Play Because They Make Good Money. They Keep Playing Because Of The Money. I Could Care Less About It. If I Don't Love The Game, No Check Is Going To Keep Me Playing.

If You're Trying To Achieve, There Will Be Roadblocks. I've Had Them; Everybody Has Had Them

My Attitude Going Into Training Camp As A Rookie Was To Impress. I Wanted To Impress My Teammates, My Coaches, The Owners, Everybody. I Wanted Them To Say, ?this Kid Is Special. This Kid Has The Right Mind, The Right Skills, The Right Motivation?.

Being Afraid On The Court, Means You're Not Confident Of Your Skills

My Fellow Wilmington, North Carolina Native Meadowlark Lemon Is A True National Treasure. I Watched Him Play For The Harlem Globetrotters When I Was Growing Up And His Skill With The Basketball And Dedication To The Game Were An Inspiration Not Only To Me, But To Kids All Around The World.

Success Doesn't Stop When You Get There

There Was Never Any Fear For Me, No Fear Of Failure. If I Miss A Shot, So What?

I Own The Guy Guarding Me

I Would Tell Players To Relax And Never Think About What's At Stake. Just Think About The Basketball Game. If You Start To Think About Who Is Going To Win The Championship, You've Lost Your Focus.

I Would Never Play An Extra Year For Money. I Play The Game Because I Love It. I Just So Happen To Get Paid. If I Don't Feel I Still Enjoy The Game, I Can Care Less What A Year Is Worth. I'm Not Going To Play The Game Just Because Of Money.

Isn't (life) All About Trying?

If You Do The Work You Get Rewarded. There Are No Shortcuts In Life.

Hard Work Pays Off

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. One Thing I Believe To The Fullest Is That If You Think And Achieve As A Team, The Individual Accolades Will Take Care Of Themselves. Talent Wins Games, But Teamwork And Intelligence Win Championships.

Be True To The Game, Because The Game Will Be True To You. If You Try To Shortcut The Game, Then The Game Will Shortcut You. If You Put Forth The Effort, Good Things Will Be Bestowed Upon You. That's Truly About The Game, And In Some Ways That's About Life Too.

I Realize That I'm Black, But I Like To Be Viewed As A Person, And That's Everybody's Wish... I Try To Be A Role Model For Black Kids, White Kids, Yellow Kids, Green Kids. This Is What I Felt Was Good About My Personality.

But My Drive To Win Is So Great ... I Just Step Over That Line. ... It's Very Embarrassing, ... One Of The Things You Totally Regret. So You Look At Yourself In The Mirror And Say, 'i Was Stupid.'

When I Worked On My Game, That's What I Thought About. When It Happened, I Set Another Goal, A Reasonable, Manageable Goal That I Could Realistically Achieve If I Worked Hard Enough. I Guess I Approached It With The End In Mind. I Knew Exactly Where I Wanted To Go, And I Focused On Getting There.
