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.

Number 45 Doesn't Explode Like Number 23 Used To.

When I Step Onto The Court, I'm Ready To Play. If You're Going Up Against Me, You'd Better Be Ready. If You're Not Going To Compete, I Will Dominate You.

I Won't Have Any Competitive Instincts In Any Sports, Other Than Golf. I Can't See Being Competitive In Sports Any More.

If You Can't Stop Thinking About It, Don't Stop Working On It.

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.

Limits, Like Fear, Is Often An Illusion.

It Is Nerve-wracking Watching My Kids' Games.

Winners Don't Just Learn The Fundamentals, They Master Them. You Have To Monitor Your Fundamentals Constantly Because The Only Thing That Changes Will Be Your Attention To Them.

So, The Next Time You're Out Working On Your Game And They Pass You The Rock, Don't Just Take It To The Hole. Take It To The Next Level. Don't Just Bend Rims. Bend Expectations. Let Them See You And Feel You And By The Very Virtue Of Your Love, The Truth In Your Game, They Will Hear You. Let Your Game Speak.

I've Failed Over And Over And Over Again In My Life And That Is Why I Succeed.

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

There Have Been Times When I Have Failed. But There Have Never Been Times When I Thought I Would Fail

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 Failed So Therefore I Succeed.

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.

Failure Makes Me Work Even Harder.

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

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

Everybody Has Talent, But Ability Takes Hard Work.

To Learn To Succeed, You Must First Learn To Fail.

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

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 Didn't Come Here To Be Average.

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

The Key To Success Is Failure

I Don't Know About Flying, But Sometimes It Feels Like I Have These Little Wings On My Feet.

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

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.

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 Think Most Micro-brewers/craft-brewers Are Similar In That They Enjoy Making Something Themselves And At The End Of The Day They Can Enjoy The Fruit Of Their Labor. Most People Really Enjoy The Process Of Making Beer And Like The Industry As A Whole. We Often Are Passionate About What We Do And Enjoy Talking To People About The Art And Science Of Making Beer.

Focus Like A Laser, Not A Flashlight

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.

Each Time I Step On The Basketball Court, I Never Know What Will Happen. I Live For The Moment. I Play For The Moment.

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

I'm A Firm Believer In Goal Setting. Step By Step. I Can't See Any Other Way Of Accomplishing Anything.

I Don't Do Things Half-heartedly. Because I Know If I Do, I Can Expect Half-hearted Results. Most People Get It The Honest Way By Setting Their Goals And Committing Themselves To Achieving Their Goals. That's The Only Way I Did It Anyway. Talent Wins Games, But Teamwork And Intelligence Wins Championships.

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.

People Ask Me If I Could Fly, I Said, 'yeah....' For A Little While.

The Nba Is The Strongest Professional Sports League In The World. The League And The Game Is Bigger Than Any One Person, Michael Jordan Included, And They Always Will Be. I Hope That Today Players, Especially Our Young Players, Continue To Recognize That Simple Fact. Nothing Is More Important Than The Game Itself And The Fans Who Support It.

A Loss Is Not A Failure Until You Make An Excuse.

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. Every Once In A While, You Will Have A Player Who Can Make The Jump And Have An Immediate Impact On The Professional Level, But Most Of The Players Who Come Out Would Absolutely Benefit From Going To College.

I Have Failed Many Times, And That's Why I Am A Success.

How Many Times Have Your Parents Told You Not To Do Things, And The Next Thing You Know, You Go Do It? And You Realized You Shouldn't Have Done It.

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

I Went To A Bookstore To Try To Find A Book. The Bottom Line Is, It All Comes By Trial And Error. It Was Scary And Exciting At First You Don't Know What To Expect. But Once You Look Into Your Child's Eyes, You Forget About That.

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.

Excellence Isn't A One-week Or One-year Ideal. It's A Constant.

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.

Success Isn't Something You Chase. It's Something You Have To Put Forth The Effort For Constantly. Then Maybe It'll Come When You Least Expect It. Most People Don't Understand That.

Anyone Who Would Argue That This Third-generatio N Mdx Is An Suv Might As Well Belong To The Flat Earth Society. The 2014 Acura Mdx Is The Perfect Expression Of The Modern Car - Capable, Spacious, And Friendly To Drive.

Cooking Classes

I Set Another Goal, A Reasonable, Manageable Goal That I Could Realistically Achieve If I Worked Hard Enough. I Approached Everything Step By Step.

You Can Practice Shooting Eight Hours A Day, But If Your Technique Is Wrong, Then All You Become Is Very Good At Shooting The Wrong Way. Get The Fundamentals Down And The Level Of Everything You Do Will Rise.

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

Patience. I Will Become What I Know I Am.

My Father... He Was There When I Didn't Understand, He Was There When I Was Wrong, He Was There When I Cried, He Was There When I Lied. For Some Reason My Dad Was Always There, When I Needed Him The Most. His Love Was Never Ending. And Now That He's Gone There Is An Emptiness In My World, But Not In My Heart.

I Never Thought A Role Model Should Be Negative.

To Be Successful You Have To Be Selfish, Or Else You Never Achieve. And Once You Get To Your Highest Level, Then You Have To Be Unselfish. Stay Reachable. Stay In Touch. Don't Isolate.

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

I've Failed Over And Over And Over Again In My Life And That Is Why I Succeed. Some People Want It To Happen, Some Wish It Would Happen, Others Make It Happen. I Can Accept Failure, Everyone Fails At Something. But I Can't Accept Not Trying.

It's Always Been Said That When I Can't Find A Way To Do Anything, I Will Find A Way To Do It.

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

We're Beating A Lot Of Poor Teams. So What? We Won A Lot Of Games Last Year, Too. Will Horace And Bill Still Be Playing At This Level In The Playoffs...can Pip Keep It Up?

My Mother Is My Root, My Foundation. She Planted The Seed That I Base My Life On, And That Is The Belief That The Ability To Achieve Starts In Your Mind.

It's Absolutely Wrong That I Don't Want Guys To Challenge Me. And The People Who Say That Aren't In The Room.

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.

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.

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

You Know You Are Doing The Right Things. So You Relax And Perform.

I Missed 9000 Shots In My Career, Lost Almost 300 Games And Missed The Shot To Win The Game 26 Times.

Other Than My Parents, No One Had A Bigger Influence On My Life Than Coach Smith. He Was More Than A Coach – He Was My Mentor, My Teacher, My Second Father. Coach Was Always There For Me Whenever I Needed Him And I Loved Him For It. In Teaching Me The Game Of Basketball, He Taught Me About Life. My Heart Goes Out To Linnea And Their Kids. We've Lost A Great Man Who Had An Incredible Impact On His Players, His Staff And The Entire Unc Family.

I Was In Chicago In 1994 And At This Time I Had No Thoughts Of Coming Back And Playing The Game Of Basketball, Bryon Russell Came Over To Me And Said, "why'd You Quit? You Know I Could Guard You." 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.

Talent Wins Games, But Teamwork And Intelligence Win Championships.
